The Underline and U.S. Soccer Foundation Present Just Ball, a FREE youth soccer program.

Join us starting Saturday, September 30th from 10:00 AM -12:00 PM, the eight-week program will be offered to youth in the community. This soccer program will take place on a mini-pitch in The Underline Flex Court sponsored by Swire Properties in the Urban Gym, a flexible outdoor recreational space. Middle to high school children 11 to 17 years old are welcome to participate.

The Just Ball League, a program founded by the U.S. Soccer Foundation and adidas is coming to Miami thanks to The Children’s Trust! Thank you to our sponsor Goldman Sachs for your generous support in launching this Just Ball site at The Underline and to the US Soccer Foundation and The Children’s Trust for investing in locations throughout Miami-Dade.

The Just Ball League will be led by Playmakers, who are coaches trained by the U.S. Soccer Foundation. Each session focuses not only on soccer skills but will also foster a sense of belonging, fun, and inclusion.

The event is free to the public. All 8 sessions are free and attendees are encouraged to attend all sessions, though registration is required for each session you would like to attend. Special thanks to Baptist Health for their sponsorship of the Urban Gym.
