Play the Game. Grow Together.
A welcoming pickup soccer program that provides kids with regular opportunities to play, improve their skills, and connect with others who share their passion for the game.
Our Mission & Vision
Mission
Our mission is to create a welcoming and enjoyable environment that offers regular opportunities for kids to play, enhance their abilities, and connect with others who share their passion for soccer.
Vision
Our vision is to make Kickoff a statewide non-profit that every kid wants to join, fostering a larger, more connected community while helping kids improve their soccer skills.
The Need for Kickoff
Many kids don't have soccer opportunities outside of competitive leagues and teams. This can lead to decreased motivation to play, limited chances to improve their skills, and fewer connections with other kids. For underprivileged youth who cannot afford top-class teams like Revolution, Loudoun, or VSA, the barrier of cost causes them to lose interest in the sport entirely.
Our Solution
Kickoff eliminates financial barriers by providing completely free pickup soccer sessions. We serve kids ages 6-12 with any disabilities, permanent injuries, any gender, and anyone who wants to be a better soccer player. Unlike other programs that charge fees, our sessions are completely free so anyone can join without a sweat.
