Philadelphia Parks & Recreation and the Office of Immigrant Affairs have partnered with the U.S. Soccer Foundation to bring Soccer for Success to Philadelphia this spring! Philly’s version of the program, an outgrowth of the Philadelphia International Unity Cup, is called the Unity Youth League.

The Unity Youth League is a free, eight-week after-school soccer program for children ages 6-12. The season starts on March 18. Throughout the program, coach-mentors teach players nutrition education, life skills, the importance of community, and soccer too!
