Soccer is more than a game.
It's a community.
For the Players Foundation brings soccer to kids across Hampton Roads — providing fields, coaches, programming, and gear at the schools, parks, and community sites that need it most. Because every kid deserves a team, a coach, and a place to play.
Three Programs.
One Mission.
The More Play Network
We partner with schools, parks, and community sites across Hampton Roads to install goals, paint fields, and bring in coaches and programming.
The Teammate Project
Every player deserves to be on the field. We sponsor individual kids who need cleats, equipment, and league fees to play.
Cleats for Kids
We collect, organize, and distribute gently used cleats to youth players across Hampton Roads who need them.
Where it all
started.
For the Players Foundation activated its first site at Blair Middle School in Norfolk — installing goals, painting fields, bringing in equipment, and partnering with the school to launch ongoing soccer programming. This is the day it came together.
Straight From the Kids.
When we activated Alanton Elementary's soccer space, the kids said it better than we ever could.
Upcoming Event
Kick for a Cause
A full day of small-sided soccer bringing players, families, and community together. All skill levels welcome, U7 through Adult divisions. Every dollar raised funds the next school activation in The More Play Network.
