Soccer for Success (SFS) is a 12-week program designed by the U.S. Soccer Foundation to give youth in underserved communities access to innovative play spaces and evidence-based soccer programs that instill hope, foster well-being, and help youth achieve their fullest potential. The new Social Emotional Learning curriculum has been added to our learning objectives after seeing youth still coping with pandemic effects. This curriculum has been designed to build social emotional skills in children that will support their ability to lead healthy and productive lives.
