@ussoccer @thesoccerdon Congratulations, @thesoccerdon! Your passion for the game and commitment to growing soccer in communities have helped shape the sport's future in the U.S. We look forward to continuing our work together with you and the team!

81% says a lot. When young people have a coach-mentor in their corner, they feel better about their future. That’s the impact we’re after. Grateful to be working together to make that possible! 👏

Every community in the U.S. has access to youth sports programs. These may be the key to reshaping youth mental health, according to @Ed_FosterSimeon and the U.S. Soccer Foundation (@ussoccerfndn). How to unlock it? Train coaches so they themselves can recognize their own potential and value as effective mentors.

Yes, Coach!™, built with Stand Together, trains countless coaches nationwide to recognize their own value as mentors. The goal: 100,000 coaches trained by 2030, reaching 3 million young people using infrastructure that already exists.

Coaches have the power to shape lives. Proud to work alongside @StandTogether to help coach-mentors make an even greater impact! 🤝

[Stand Together @StandTogether]

@Ed_FosterSimeon, president and CEO of the @ussoccerfndn, says a coach can be one of the most influential adults in a kid's life. Yes, Coach!™ trains them to make the most of it, equipping them to recognize when a child needs support and connect families with impactful resources.

The power of a coach-mentor goes far beyond the pitch. We’re proud to work alongside @StandTogether to give more coach-mentors the tools and support they need to show up for youth 👏

[Stand Together @StandTogether]

Just 18% of coaches feel ready to help kids through a mental health struggle they're already watching unfold. @Ed_FosterSimeon, President & CEO of the @ussoccerfndn has a plan to close that gap with the people already on the sideline.

Let the game be the teacher. 🤝

’94ers. Coach-mentors. Youth. One night that brought generations together through the game of soccer.

The 1994 World Cup changed everything for @AlexiLalas and for soccer in America.

Thirty years later, the legacy lives on through @MLS, the U.S. Soccer Foundation, and the communities still feeling its impact today. 🌟

Soccer Will create opportunity

When young people have access to safe places to play and caring coach-mentors, communities thrive. Today, we’re launching Soccer Will, a campaign committing to reach 10M youth in under-resourced across America by 2030.

These words say it all.

We’re honored to welcome @AlexiLalas as one of our emcees for the U.S. Soccer Foundation Gala, a night celebrating 30 years of impact and future generations being shaped through the game. ⚽️✨

Legacy isn’t just remembered. It’s built.

Lets run it back 🔄

In 2016, the focus was access, mentors, and belonging. Ten years later, those values still lead the way. That foundation continues to guide our work today, as the impact reaches further than we could have imagined.

What once felt like a promise is now a reality for her students. For this coach, the new pitch isn’t just a place to play, it’s an extension of her classroom.

Your support helps build more mini-pitches and expand opportunities for more schools this year🔗 https://t.co/EDWjLjg3eM

Coaching is more than the game — it’s bringing positive change to kids’ lives. 💙⚽️

Adrian started in Soccer for Success at age five. Today, he’s a mentor, a leader, and a connector in his community, using the game to lift up the next generation.

More than a game — it’s how friendships start. 🤝

Soccer has a way of connecting kids with people they’ve never met — and turning those moments into real friendships.

[US Soccer Foundation @ussoccerfndn]

Today, we honor and remember all who have served—past and present—and the families and communities who stand beside them. 🇺🇸

[US Soccer Foundation @ussoccerfndn]

Where play creates possibility. 💫

We joined @MetLife Foundation & Roxborough YMCA to open a new mini-pitch — a safe place for kids to play, grow & connect.

It’s part of our $1.7M partnership with MetLife Foundation, reaching 220,000+ youth & families nationwide.
