Thanks to Sponsors Ovest by Luzzo's, HELP USA’s Street Soccer NYC will be playing their first game of the season in the Men’s Chelsea Piers League this Friday, January 8 at 7pm on the South Field inside the Field house. Keep track of the schedule and updates on the blog.
HELP USA’s team features 14 residents of Wards Island’s Clark Thomas and Supportive employment center.
This fall, 10 of the 14 have found employment, two have recovered their green card, four have moved into housing, and another 6 are making plans to move out soon.
Following the game the team’s Fan Group will be going to our sponsors, Luzzo's, new restaurant OVEST PIZZOTECA, 513 W 27th Street 10001 NY, NY, for food and drinks.

So great to hear about what you guys are doing. Is this just an East Coast thing? I live in LA and want to do something with soccer and homeless kids and adults. I would certainly appreciate the opportunity to talk to some one within your organization.
Tony,
No, there are Street Soccer USA teams at various stages of development in 16 cities. In LA the team is organized out of Boyle Heights, let by an organization called Jovenes. We are working with them to build up Street Soccer in LA. Your help would be great. email rob@streetsoccerusa.org to get connected. Thanks! Lawrence
