City United Academy S.F.S. Boys Wrapped up the Big Heart Tournament Today with The 13U’s Boys going Home the Chip 🏆 and our 16U falling short 1-0 in a tough fought game last night vs Global FC finishing as the Runner-Up. Overall it was a Great Experience for the Youth in the Northeast Area of KC. Being able to provide Opportunities for them to play the game they love as well as being able to Mentor, Teach, and help them Build Confidence is truly a Blessing, one of the Best Jobs in the World.

Day 1 of Spring Soccer for Success is in the books—and what a powerful start.

I’m incredibly grateful for the partnership between City United and the U.S. Soccer Foundation, and for the opportunity to make a real impact in our community. Working with Youth from all over the Globe that come together for their love of the Game. From mentoring young players to working alongside my high school boys as they grow into leaders and coaches themselves, this journey is truly a blessing.

We’re just getting started. Together, we will continue to grow, inspire change, and challenge our kids to rise above the norms of their environments—to believe in more, to become more, and to lead the way for others. 💪⚽️💪
