Street Soccer USA
Street Soccer USA builds community and creates opportunity through the game we all love. We use soccer as a tool to connect people, strengthen neighborhoods, and support youth and families in reaching their goals on and off the field.
In San Francisco, our programs have become trusted spaces for belonging and growth. We create free neighborhood based teams in the Tenderloin, Bayview, Mission, and East Cut neighborhoods and run community programming and events at new fields like the Tenderloin Community Park. Our coaches, mentors, and partners work side by side with players and families to create spaces that are consistent, joyful, and rooted in care.
Every field, team, and tournament is part of something bigger. Together we are building a movement to ensure that every young person has a safe place to play, to learn, and to be part of a team that believes in them.
