Street Soccer 945 Pointed in the Right Direction


Pictured here is Alex. Alex, Mamadi, Ellis, Wolf, Bianca and Kimtoya are just a few of the new team members for Street Soccer 945 in 2009. These team members along with Ebony, Nori, Casper and Osman will carry the torch for Street Soccer 945 as we set our sights on July 31st for the kickoff of Street Soccer USA Cup 2009 in Washington, DC.

Over the last several years Street Soccer 945 has transformed and grown and out of it came Street Soccer USA, the national body that organizes all of the grassroots street soccer projects across the nation. Our once former blog still carries on as the blog for reports on everything Street Soccer from east coast to west. With this new and exciting growth we were not able to post as many in depth reports on team players, practices, and events. WIth Street Soccer USA now having its own blog we have re-created our our blog for just for Charlotte. The Street Soccer 945 blog is back and we have a story to tell! Follow us through the spring, and summer as we improve our skills on the field and tackle our fiercest of challenges off the field. You will find here practice schedules, game schedules for the 945 team and our graduate team, the Street Soccer Stars. You will hear about triumphs as well as defeats on the field and in life. We will feature guest writings from players and volunteers. You will learn how each and every day our program particpants use soccer as a motivating and empowering factor in helping them face their fears and overcome them. Thank for reading and check back real soon. -ROB
