Since 1989, Soccer in the Streets has been on a mission: give every child in Atlanta the chance to play, grow, and lead.
As a 401c3 non-profit, we’ve spent over three decades breaking down barriers to deliver high-quality soccer programs, Social-Emotional Learning, and real job opportunities through youth refereeing and coaching. And we didn’t stop there. Through our groundbreaking StationSoccer initiative, we continue to build a network of soccer fields at MARTA stations across Atlanta—bringing community-fueled games for all ages closer to home. We believe that access to soccer shouldn’t require a paycheck or parking strategy; it should be affordable and easy to reach. Tens of thousands of games later, we’re just getting started.

Building Soccer Skills
Free. Fun. Life-changing. Our competitive soccer leagues bring hundreds of Atlanta kids together twice a week to play, build skills, and grow at no cost. Every child gets placed at a StationSoccer field close to home, and are paired with mentors who show up for them on and off the pitch. And for teens ready to step up, our youth referee program turns players into leaders. Find Your Station
