The programs City Soccer model offer a lifetime of participation for all ages and ability levels.
The model is unique, because of the circumstances from which it came and the environment in which it was developed. During the rebuilding a major city after a natural disaster, people need sport programs to do a little more.
Design & development has continued for over a decade. By working closely with all the major stakeholders in local sport, the interests and needs of all have been built in. The original “pilot” programs and facilities continue to operate for Research & Development at Unite The Game Foundation. The Foundation’s purpose is to share the solutions with others.
Each program serves different reasons for playing. There are many reasons people play…and coach. Each program has been shaped to satisfy all points of view: participants, families, coaches, teams, organizations, communities, associations, and governing bodies. Bringing the programs to a local area aligns of all these stakeholders. The model a very effective tool to address problems on all scales. All united by offering the programs at local play-spaces.
The programs-framework is adaptable and transferable to any local area. A good fit is found through Unite The Game Foundation’s Planning process. The programs are guaranteed to match a local area and operating organization, improving both in the process.
With the City Soccer model, Unite The Game has produced a formula for bringing people together in an athletic community that naturally serves and solves problems in critical ways.
Local play-spaces are maximized; broad benefits and impacts follow naturally.
Designed over fifteen years and from circumstances of total need; developed with understanding by taking the view from many key perspetives; arriving at the design of programs that solve many problems for many perspetives; assembling a model that can be adaptively and practically applied multiple areas: HEALTHCARE, ECONOMIC, EVIRONMENTAL, COMMUNITY, ORGANIZATION, & PLAYER DEVELOPMENT
The City Soccer model is aligned with the UN framework for Sustainable Development Goals; with the WHO/UEFA joint study of Social Return On Investment in community football programming; with numerous national and municipal frameworks for social service and community well-being.
The (City Soccer) model is an ideal approach for social determinants of health in communities…planning, delivering, and measuring outcomes through sport.
The model is also highly effective for competitive player, club, and population development.
Open Academy, alone, is a force for players and coaches to learn and develop. By combining the programs with other opportunities, an incredible model for developing players and coaches becomes available across the local area. When all have access and none are held back, the difference is powerful. Results on the field are proof.

City Soccer Social
The backbone of all long-standing sport clubs is a critical social pillar.
At the center of any sport club over 100 years old is a social venue and gathering place. Visiting countless clubs, as well as operating such spaces over an 18-month period, the social backbone of the City Soccer model has been formed.
