Making soccer possible in every school in the United States.
Soccer at Schools is a national effort led by Soccer Forward in partnership with Bank of America to expand access to soccer.
Across the country, there is a growing opportunity to bring soccer into the school day, supporting movement, connection, and confidence for young people.
We believe U.S. Soccer is uniquely positioned to enable the ecosystem to expand access to soccer in schools by equipping educators and coaches with trusted resources and connecting schools to a national network of community and member organizations, enabling consistent, high-quality soccer experiences nationwide.
A future where every student in the United States can experience soccer in high-quality, safe, inclusive, and accessible ways.
And where the game is used as a force for good, supporting social-emotional learning, belonging, and healthier school communities.
The first step in this movement is the Soccer at Schools Starter Kit, a free, practical toolkit for teachers, schools, clubs, and organizations looking to introduce soccer during the school day, with ready-to-use activities and guidance.
If you’re a teacher, coach, school leader, member organization, or community organization interested in bringing Soccer at Schools to your community, we’d love to hear from you.
Pilot begins Fall 2026 and focuses on elementary schools serving kindergarten through 5th grade.
