Future Goals and Long Term Vision
Develop Club Soccer Teams
Once we have established funding and developed stable relationships to cover our existing programs, we would also like to start sponsoring a fully funded, high level soccer team to play and compete in area Club leagues (NISL, IWSL, MRL, ). The idea is to use the programs year round training grounds to identify kids who have the skill set, ability, commitment and give them an opportunity to compete at the next level. All fees, training, uniforms, etc. to be covered by the Foundation. The kids would need to be more than just good soccer players (good grades, law abiding, committed, community service hours), but this could be their "ticket to a better future". Perhaps they may have an opportunity to go to college, qualify for a scholarship, along with many other exciting possibilities.
Aurora Community Co-op Projects
East Aurora HS let us use their fields for the camp. It may be possible to use their field house or indoor gym to run the winter programs as a co-op. In exchange for field use, we would buy them new soccer goals, perhaps supply uniforms for the varsity teams and other specific equipment. This would be a great way for the Foundation to tie into the school system and determine one-by-one the needs that should be addressed and can be focused on PURE SOCCER.
