The first soccer jersey I purchased was as stereotypical as it was ill-advised. Like most barely-adolescent Americans attracted to football in the early 2000s, I faced the difficult task of keeping abreast of a sport in a country where domestic media coverage began and ended with blooper reels.

Now re-energized we will be breaking posts into four categories moving forward: Soccer World, Soccer USA, Soccer Games and Soccer Player.

Street Soccer USA is located in 20 cities across the US, including the San Francisco Bay Area. SSUSA uses the platform of team sports to deliver a curriculum of job and life skills training and other specialized services to the homeless, ultimately connecting participants directly to jobs, education, and housing.
