Soccer is known worldwide as the beautiful game partially because of the teamwork required to be successful. The game of soccer provides life lessons, such as leadership, hard work, humility in success, and sportsmanship in defeat. It also encourages an active lifestyle, which has numerous health benefits.

The Let Them Play campaign will raise funds to grow the game in the following ways:

• Increase the financial assistance we offer to lower income families

• Provide field access to local public, private, and charter schools

• Launch TOPSoccer, a program that provides soccer clinics to children with disabilities

• Improve our existing fields, including the construction of two turf fields at Lafreniere Park

• Bring additional leagues and tournaments to the area, which will drive economic impact
