Giving Every Child a Chance to Dream

SOCCER IS MORE THAN A GAME!

It builds confidence, discipline, teamwork, and resilience — qualities that stay with children long after they leave the field.

Unfortunately, far too many children in underserved communities are still denied these benefits simply because their families cannot afford the cost of participation. This was true even before the pandemic, and the need is greater now than ever.

That’s why GGS Soccer Academy, in partnership with Ocoee Soccer League (OSL) and Let Me Play Foundation, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, created the “No Child Left Behind” program.

Our promise is simple: If a child wants to play, finances will never be the reason they’re left out.

Through this program:

• Over $250,000 in scholarships were awarded during the 2025–2026 season alone.

• More than $1.5 million in total scholarships have been provided over the last eight years.

Each scholarship represents a child who was given an opportunity instead of exclusion.

OUR IMPACT EXTENDS WELL BEYOND THE SOCCER FIELD!

Over the past eight years, GGS Soccer Academy has invested more than $300,000 toward:

• New equipment

• Facility improvements

• The development of a new soccer field at JBRC in Ocoee, FL (completed in May 2022)

• And much more!!!

We also proudly launched the “No Child Left Behind Christmas Rally,” donating hundreds of toys to support the Ocoee Police Department’s Toys for Kids in Need initiative.

In addition, GGS continues to support local schools and churches in establishing and expanding soccer programs, while our staff and volunteer families contribute over 5,000 hours of community service annually.

This is what community looks like in action.

While we are deeply committed to this mission, we know that lasting impact requires teamwork. To continue providing scholarships, maintaining fields, upgrading equipment, and expanding access to soccer, we rely on the generosity of donors, partners, and sponsors.

​

We invite businesses, families, and friends to join us as:

• Club Donors

• Community Partners

• Program Sponsors

Your support directly helps children who otherwise wouldn’t have the chance to play.
