LEVELING THE PLAYING FIELD
CONTINUED
PARTNERSHIP WITH MSYSA
This week, in partnership with MSYSA, Leveling the Playing Field (LPF) distributed over 100 pairs of cleats at five of our "Let's Play!" after-school programs! Our young athletes were thrilled to receive brand-new cleats, helping them take the field with confidence, pride, and excitement.
Our collaboration with LPF is an important part of our mission to make soccer accessible to all children across Maryland. By removing barriers like the cost of equipment, we are working together to create more inclusive opportunities for kids to participate, grow, and thrive both on and off the field. Access to the right gear can make a huge difference in a young athlete’s experience, and we are proud to help level the playing field for families in our communities.
We’re grateful for LPF’s support and look forward to continuing this important work together.
Check out some of our favorite moments from this week’s clinics!
