Why should you support KSC?
Kensington Soccer Club has ambitious but realistic plans to expose kids to soccer at a high standard and also to engage in broad youth and community development. Kensington has the highest levels of poverty in the city and struggles with other poverty-related challenges. Whether it’s violence, obesity, lack of educational opportunity, or teens becoming parents, there’s a lot for our youth to overcome and we want to help equip them with the tools to do so. We rely on donations of time, equipment, and resources.

There's a lack of programs for youth in this neighborhood and elsewhere in Philadelphia. Our intramural program for high school age players is particularly rare and brings people from far away. Our programs are free for all ages, although we encourage families to give a small amount (from $5 to $20). We want to make sure that lack of money isn’t a barrier to a good experience, so we provide players with free shin guards, socks, a shirt, and a soccer ball. Over our last three programs, we’ve given 217 players a soccer ball to take home and keep so that they can practice, stay fit, and stay busy with safe activities. For some, it’s one of their few possessions. Your support can make a crucial difference in the lives of our amazing children.

DONATE EQUIPMENT AND MONEY
We need any and all soccer equipment including balls, cleats, shin-guards, sneakers, clothing, goals, cones, goalie gear, etc. Contact us to arrange drop-off or pick-up of equipment. We also need cash donations so we can provide the quality program that Kensington children and families deserve. Your donation will help pay for scholarships, field trips, snacks, uniforms, neighborhood soccer festivals, and our Teen Leaders Initiative. Make checks out to "Kensington Soccer Club." You can mail or drop off equipment and checks to: Kensington Soccer Club, 2316 Emerald St., Philadelphia, PA 19125.

There are several ways other ways you can get involved:

CO-COACH
Each team will have at least two coaches so if you don't know soccer, we'll pair you with someone who does. We'll be playing on small fields with small teams so you'll enjoy getting to know our amazing kids, mentor them, and build teamwork skills. If you would need to miss a game we could still use your help. Contact us if you can help!

OUTREACH
For a successful league, we need lots of kids! We regularly set up tables at community events, calling and visiting community groups and schools, posting fliers, and calling kids who said they were interested. If you can do any of this, contact us saying which of the above activities you want to do and we'll discuss details. You can also "like" our facebook page and share it with your friends!

ORGANIZE AND COORDINATE
In order for all of our operations to run smoothly, we need people like you to help organize and coordinate all the varied aspects of our work. You can have a particularly powerful impact if you're willing to bottom-line one of those aspects (with plenty of guidance and support). Contact us if you might be up for this or have any questions.
