5 Year Anniversary!

Since our inception in 2019, Level the Playing Field has been committed to breaking down barriers and creating a more inclusive environment for youth soccer in Fresno. We believe that every child should have access to the joys and benefits of playing soccer, regardless of their background or financial circumstances. Through our various programs, including coaching clinics, equipment donations, and scholarships, we have worked tirelessly to make this vision a reality.

As Level the Playing Field Fresno celebrates its remarkable journey of five years, we reflect on the transformative power of soccer in the lives of our youth. To celebrate this special milestone, we are delighted to announce that we are offering five $1000 scholarships towards competitive soccer fees. More information about the application will be released in May 2024, before the competitive soccer tryout window.

Holiday Soccer Clinic

We wrapped up the year with our Holiday Soccer Clinic on Monday 12/23/19. The day began with a one hour training session, then the kids were divided into 3 groups based on age. For the next 2 hours, they rotated through 3 stations: (1) scrimmages, (2) a snack break with an all-you-can-eat healthy snack bar, and (3) a video training session where a coach showed the kids some great soccer goals and blunders in the conference room. We even spent a moment allowing the kids to write a message on our "confessions of a youth soccer player" banner. While most of the kids said their favorite part was the scrimmages, I personally loved reading all the messages they left on our banner.
