BRINGING FOOTBALL BACK TO THE PEOPLE WITH POP UP OPEN PLAY THROUGHOUT THE CHARLOTTE REGION! CALLING ALL BALLAS AND FOOTBALLISTAS!
THE STREET IS WHERE PLAYERS ARE MADE.
Much of the Mediterranean region of Europe and South America has been dominating the street soccer scenes for over a decade. The street soccer culture in France has been attributed to their astronomical success in creating dynamic and creative players in every position on the pitch and the French Football Association has given it large credit to their most recent World Cup win.
There is only one consistent in the world of football, and it is largely ignored in the United States, and that consistency is simple: Cultures who are able to engage in the sport of football freely, without structure, and on their own terms from an early age develop some of the world's most talented players.
Over a billion dollars are spent by the US annually to develop a soccer system and it has yet to make a dynamic impact internationally. Even a huge majority of the current headliners of the USMNT have a youth development background rooted in other countries and supported by the nature of free play and street football. The US accounts for over 80% of the youth sports spending in the world and the sport of football has priced out over 60% of the communities that it serves.
