About Us

Since

2012

Building Inclusion, Confidence, and Opportunity Through Soccer

Founded in 2012, Autism Soccer Foundation was created with a clear purpose: to provide children on the autism spectrum with access to structured, supportive, and inclusive soccer programs.

We believe soccer is more than a sport. It is a powerful tool for connection, growth, discipline, and self-confidence. Through carefully designed training environments and understanding leadership, we create spaces where every child can participate, develop skills, and feel valued.

Our Story

Autism Soccer began with a simple but urgent need — families were searching for sports programs that truly understood children with autism.

Traditional sports environments can often feel overwhelming. We recognized the importance of structure, patience, and individualized support. What started as a program focused on inclusion has evolved into a foundation committed to long-term impact, family support, and community awareness.

Since 2012, we have continued working to expand opportunities and create meaningful experiences for every participant.

Our Vision

To provide adaptive and structured soccer programs that promote physical development, social interaction, emotional growth, and self-confidence for children and young individuals on the autism spectrum.

Our Mission

To create communities where children with autism are fully included in sports and society — where their strengths are recognized, their potential is nurtured, and their participation is celebrated.
