Our heart and passion is to provide the very best opportunities for the kids of our community. Currently we serve over 90 kids in our community Uvita de Osa, Costa Rica and have kids that take the bus 30-45 minutes to join up with us weekly. But truth be told, currently the model for opportunities in the soccer world here is you live in the capital city ( 3 1/2 hours from us) or basically you never have a shot to pursue the dream. We are all about breaking that mold and giving the underdogs a shot.

April 1-9, 2023 we will be taking 15 of our kids from the community to Dallas, TX USA to compete in a tournament called Dallas Cup 2023. Not only will it be a great competitive experience, but a chance for our kids to see the world and another culture. This event also serves as a centre for scouts for US universities and pro teams, an amazing opportunity for our kids to be seen. "Fútbol" can absolutely be the opportunity for a "hand up" out of poverty and extreme adversity for many youth. We like to challenge our kids to dream big, put in the hard work to get to that dream, and enjoy the process. Most of our kids come from low income homes or single parent homes so a big trip like this is not even considered an option. Will you consider partnering with us in this life changing experience?
