Our Story Breaking Barriers Since 2019
Every child deserves the chance to play, learn, and grow through soccer
Every child deserves the chance to play, learn, and grow through soccer
Mitch's Soccer NEXT was founded on a simple belief: financial circumstances should never prevent a child from experiencing the joy and benefits of soccer.
In 2019, after witnessing countless talented young players unable to afford traditional soccer programs, we launched our innovative "Pay What You Can" model. This approach ensures that every child, regardless of their family's financial situation, has access to quality soccer training and mentorship.
Today, we're proud to have served over 10,000 youth across our communities, proving that when we remove financial barriers, we unlock incredible potential.
"Soccer saved my life. Now I want to make sure every kid gets that same chance."
