Keep Them
Playing
Free pickup soccer for kids across Hampton Roads. No fees and no tryouts, just a game every kid can join. Your gift keeps the gear packed, the field ready, and our volunteers on the sideline.
Give to PickupWhat it takes to run pickup
Every pickup night looks simple from the sideline. Here’s what goes into it.
Volunteer staff
Staff shirts and supplies for the volunteers who check players in, run every field, and keep games safe and fair.
Game gear
Soccer balls, pinnies, cones, corner flags, and pop-up goals for every age group.
Loaner cleats
We bring every pair we have so a missing pair of cleats doesn’t keep a kid on the sideline.
The field
Weekly mowing and upkeep so the grass is safe and ready to play on.
Insurance
Liability coverage so every session is run the right way, for every player.
Getting the word out
The app, signs, and flyers that tell families when and where to play.
What your gift does
Every amount below goes straight onto the field.
We got it started. Now we need your help to make it grow.
Free pickup started with a few balls and a field. Neighbors, families, and local businesses have pitched in along the way, and now hundreds of kids have a place to play every week.
The next step is more nights, more gear, and more places to play.
