Street Soccer USA

Street Soccer Tulsa : Francisco Francisco is a 37-year-old Hispanic male from Monterrey, Mexico. He joined Street Soccer Tulsa to be part of something and to get an escape from his current reality.  On why he joined Street Soccer Tulsa, “They give us the opportunity to play…every day. It’s about the team and I play because I love it. Monterrey is my team, but Street Soccer is also my team.” Good luck to Francisco and we’ll see him in July at the Street Soccer USA National Cup!

From Sacramento with Love

Sacramento was one of the first ever women’s teams. This was right after they became the first ever totally mohawked team. What I love about the teams from Sacramento is the joy they bring to everything. Homelessness is hard. Recovery is hard. The day to day of pulling yourself up by your bootstraps is not exactly a feel good movie while you are doing it. It only looks like that in retrospect. Yet somehow Street Soccer Sacramento brings that forward looking joy to the everyday, and soccer practices there are the major expression of that. Maybe that’s their secret to success, bringing some joy and humor and above all honesty to the day to day of recovery and redemption. More power to them and more power to us if we can copy them a little bit. Here’s a facebook video they posted. I’m blindly trusting it because I haven’t seen it yet—the office in nyc blocks facebook vids through a the firewall, but I just have a feeling it’s worth sharing.
