Boston Scores partners with Boston Public Schools to provide urban youth in grades K-12 with after-school soccer & enrichment programs.
Students, divided by gender, typically participate in Scores activities 3-5 days per week. This includes 2 days of soccer practices, 2 days of enrichment classes, and one soccer game day in which teams are transported to nearby soccer fields to play other Scores teams. Learn more about our programs here.
As we move into 2022 and beyond, Scores plans to augment our traditional school-based soccer & enrichment programs with new community-based programs that will serve more youth and enhance coach training.
More flexible implementation will leverage our soccer and enrichment expertise to serve Boston families in new ways.
Boston Scores helps urban youth build essential life skills and character through soccer and team-based enrichment programs. Boston Scores envisions a world where all youth feel a sense of belonging and achieve their full potential.
Boston Scores’ programs were born out of the desire to close the opportunity gap for students in inner-city Boston, with a specific focus on soccer and out-of-school time enrichment activities.
While soccer is generally played across economic classes internationally, the sport is dominated by a “pay to play” model in the United States, requiring considerable financial contributions to cover equipment costs, travel expenses, club fees, and much more. Play equity gaps lead to health equity gaps and systemic barriers to joining high quality teams and leagues deprive our society of a vast resource of youth talent.
At Boston Scores, students can join a free soccer team at their school. After their soccer practices, students move with their teammates from the field to the classroom, where they engage in hands-on curricula that connect to their real-world experiences. They emerge empowered to make positive changes in their lives and in their communities. Find out more about our programs here and find out about our impact here!
We believe young people can help us create a more inclusive, cohesive, just, and united humanity; a society where no one lives in fear because of the color of their skin; a world where intolerance, inequity, and systemic racism do not exist.
