We bring soccer to underserved communities with a holistic approach to health and wellness. We accomplish this by providing free soccer programming, investing in safe places to play, and focusing on urban gardens and access to healthy food choices. Orlando City Foundation believes in The Beautiful Game. We believe that early exposure to soccer will help children develop the physical and social skills that inspire confidence, success, and healthy lifelong habits. So what makes soccer beautiful? For some, it is the pure joy of playing and being part of a team. For others, it is a way to build character and sportsmanship. For still others, it is because almost everyone can play soccer almost anywhere. At the Foundation, we think it is all those things, combined with soccer’s ability to transcend place, age, language, politics, and socioeconomic status. With very little required equipment, soccer is a playing field that creates common ground.
