Team Give & Go Scholarship
There is nothing better than a timely assist on the soccer field and most importantly in the game of life. Soccer is one of the most popular sports in the world. However, it has a problem in America: pay-to-play soccer. The pay-to-play model in America means that many people simply can't afford to play soccer. This model have resulted in fewer opportunities for girls and athletes of color who might otherwise be able to pursue their dreams of playing soccer for an academy club, university, or professionally. Since most teams don't offer scholarships, parents who are struggling financially often have to make difficult financial decisions in order to allow their children to play.
The good news is that these problems aren't insurmountable—we can work together as a community to change things for the better! And this is why we’ve launched the Team Give & Go ‘Nice Assist” Scholarship with the support of Dick’s Sporting Goods.
