Soccer Shots and Trust & Will Launch Community Grants Program to Expand Access to Youth Sports

$30,000 investment will help provide more children with opportunities to play, grow, and thrive

MIDDLETOWN, PA, UNITED STATES, September 1, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Soccer Shots, the nation’s leading children’s soccer enrichment program, announced the launch of the Soccer Shots Community Grants Program. The new initiative includes a generous initial $30,000 investment made by partner Trust & Will, with the goal to help expand access to youth sports and enrichment opportunities for children and families in communities across North America.

Every child deserves the chance to play, grow, and build confidence through sports. Yet for many children and families, access to those opportunities isn’t always within reach. The Soccer Shots Community Grants Program was created to help remove those barriers by providing funding that makes Soccer Shots programming more accessible to children and families who need it most.

“We believe every child should have the opportunity to experience the joy and connection that comes from participating in Soccer Shots,” said Jason Webb, VP, Strategic Partnerships at Soccer Shots. “Through the Community Grants Program, we’re helping more children form friendships, build confidence, and learn lifelong lessons that begin with simply having a place to play.” As the presenting sponsor of the program, Trust & Will is helping make those opportunities possible for even more children and families.

“Trust & Will is proud to sponsor the Soccer Shots Community Grants Program, supporting the families and communities at the heart of youth sports,” said Cody Barbo, Co-Founder and CEO at Trust & Will. “Our mission has always been to help families build lasting legacies and investing in opportunities that help children thrive is a natural extension of that commitment.”

Beginning August 20th, Soccer Shots families and partners will have the opportunity to apply for Community Grants to support local initiatives that increase access to Soccer Shots programming. Grants may be used to serve underserved communities, establish partnerships with schools and childcare providers, or support other community-based efforts that remove barriers to participation.

The Soccer Shots Community Grants Program reflects the shared belief of Soccer Shots and Trust & Will that when communities thrive, families thrive, and every child deserves the opportunity to build confidence, develop character, and experience the joy of play.

Applications for the Community Grants Program are now open. For more information or to apply, visit https://www.soccershots.com/stronger-youth-beyond-the-game/.
