HOW CP SOCCER CHANGES LIVES

Adapted soccer for children with cerebral palsy, stroke, or traumatic brain injury.

CP Soccer is an innovative nonprofit serving youths with Cerebral Palsy, stroke and TBI who are ambulatory. CP Soccer provides many of these kids their only access to competitive sports and their only chance to spend time with kids like them.

Despite having a physical disability, many of our CP Soccer participants are mainstreamed - meaning they spend their days with able-bodied peers. CP Soccer provides

• Regular physical activity through a collaborative sport

• Adaptive sport with a level playing field

• Outlet for competitive instincts

• Friends and community with kids like them

• Community and resource for parents and caregivers

• Virtual events to connect with the community

Our players develop with our program. We help players develop essential skills through assistant coaching and internship opportunities. We also provide a path and support to the US Para-7-a-side National Team.

We have virtual camps and events as well as in-person events in selected geographies.

3 Ways to Participate in CP Soccer

Online soccer trainings and socials reaching kids with CP across the entire country

Meet and enjoy soccer with other CP kids through our 10 regional programs

An entire week of sharing and soccer training with other kids with cerebral palsy

Stroke/Cerebral Palsy/TBI affects roughly one in every 1,500 children, so CP Soccer is often the first time our players get to socialize with similarly disabled kids.

Kids' participation in CP Soccer impacts them physically and socially in profound ways.
