Goal Foundation, the non profit launched by the founders of International Soccer Academy, is dedicated to removing the financial barriers preventing elite American youth soccer players from reaching for their dreams.
New York, New York – GOAL Foundation, Inc., a new non-profit dedicated to promoting the growth and development of student athletes, is proud to announce today the official unveiling of its 501(c)(3) status and the foundation’s inaugural annual drive of $500,000 to fund scholarships for talented youth soccer players.
Money has always been an issue in youth sports. GOAL Foundation wants to start leveling the playing field financially.
“Financial support for the today’s generation of athletes paves the road for tomorrow’s superstars wearing Red, White and Blue,” said Diane Scavuzzo, cofounder of International Soccer Academy.
“Pay-to-Play requires parents to have enough money to cover the cost of playing soccer, and this isn’t always financially possible. In the USA, talented youth soccer players can be prevented from participating in top level programs due to costs. We know this first hand from identifying players who have the potential to become professional athletes but simply can’t afford the costs of training for nearly a year in Germany with International Soccer Academy. We wanted to start a non-profit to help remove these financial barriers — and we need your help.”
