About Soccer Start
Soccer Start is the program that focuses on providing training and venues for underserved populations throughout the state. Kids who would normally not be able to play soccer have the opportunity to utilize equipment, skill training and coaching training.

Districts with an interest in starting either TopSoccer programs or Soccer Start programs please contact Doug Gaddis SCYSA Recreation Director or your SCYSA District Recreation Committee member.

Soccer Start is designed to introduce the sport of soccer to youngsters living in communities not yet served by existing clubs and leagues. Focused on making soccer available to lower-income children in underserved communities, Soccer Start provides soccer training and administrative guidance to players and organizations who might otherwise not be exposed to the sport. Soccer Start also helps new programs find the funding and equipment to begin and then to expand their activities. In the past several years, US Youth Soccer has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars in financial and material support to programs across the United States.
