Before soccer, I didn’t really believe in myself. Now I feel confident and my grades have gone up. I’ve learned how to work with other kids too. It’s not just a game. This is like my second home. It changed my life.

Through the Colorado Soccer Foundation, young athletes across the state are building more than just skills on the field. They’re building confidence, teamwork, and a brighter future. As part of the Daniels Fund’s Big Bet on youth sports participation, this program opens doors for children from all backgrounds to thrive through structured play and positive mentorship. From improved grades to stronger self-esteem, stories like this show how youth sports in Colorado are transforming lives and making childhood better. The Colorado Soccer Foundation is creating meaningful change by ensuring every child has the chance to play, grow, and succeed.
