Soccer Shots Global Goals is the philanthropic arm of Soccer Shots.

Through this non-profit organization we seek to impact children involved in our Soccer Shots program as well as positively influence disadvantaged children in the US and around the world. We, at Soccer Shots, aspire to be a franchise community that leverages our success to help others. The Soccer Shots Global Goals tag line “Stronger Youth. Beyond the Game.” concisely describes our collective efforts to provide opportunities for youth in underprivileged communities directly and indirectly through the game of soccer.

We have been inspired by the 2010 World Cup being held on the continent of Africa for the first time in history! For the period leading up to the World Cup in June 2010, Soccer Shots Global Goals will focus on Khayelitsha, South Africa, an impoverished township outside of Cape Town where many children have lost parents to HIV/AIDS and are in the care of the community.

Soccer Shots has pledged $30,000 to our partner Amandla Ku Lutsha, a South Africa – based organization that works in Khayelitsha. Their mission is to empower and educate disadvantaged youth through soccer. In order to reach our financial goal, $1 of your child’s registration fee will go toward this pledge. Throughout the fall and spring Soccer Shots seasons your child will learn more about the Global Goals – South Africa.

We’re excited about Global Goals – South Africa and the significant contribution you, your center, and the entire Soccer Shots system will make to positively affect the youth of Khayelitsha. Thank you for signing your child up for Soccer Shots and your support of the Global Goals – South Africa campaign!
