Celebrating Diverse Communities
Now more than ever we see an opportunity to celebrate the diverse communities that makes up the Twin Cities metropolitan area. We are excited to announce a sports league like no other, using the beautiful game to champion people, and learn more about each other on and off the court.

Making an Impact
Creating Change
Across Serve-to-Play, Soccer for Success, Winter Training, Stars of the Cities, TC WinterSOLstice 3v3, and SOLFood Dinner, our programming integrates community service, meals, and a consistent environment for competition and growth. Young people build responsibility on and off the court while gaining access to meaningful opportunities. This is our impact to date.

Leaders
Developing Leaders for Generations to Come
Our unique approach has put kids and the community first. We recognize that to make a positive impact we need to provide positive experiences for our youth, while giving back to the communities they are from. Our service model eliminates the financial barrier in youth sports while emphasizing the importance of developing a strong positive community for all.
Health & Well Being
Placing an Emphasis on Physical & Mental Health
Studies have shown the negative affects of kids not getting enough physical activity in their lives. The rate of childhood obesity in marginalized communities is on the rise. Our goal is to help bring those numbers down by providing healthy environments where kids can be physically active and enjoy the beautiful game.
Bridging the Gap
Reducing teen/youth violence involves fostering self-confidence, mentorship, inclusion, education, and career readiness. To achieve this, we can encourage activities that challenge young people, provide positive role models and mentors, create inclusive environments, offer access and resources to support quality education, and build career readiness skills. By combining these elements, we can help young people build a positive sense of self and a brighter future.
