About Us

Nine years and growing! E-Soccer has come a long way since 2000. From a handful of kids at a nearby park in Foster City to hundreds of kids participating throughout the Bay Area and around the world!

E-Soccer (Exceptional Children Soccer) is an all-volunteer program that teaches soccer to children aged 5 and up in an inclusive environment. We are dedicated to empowering both typical and special needs children of all abilities to reach their full athletic and social potential.

E-Soccer's inclusion methodology promotes leadership, social, character, and athletic development for each child in an individualized manner. We respect every child's ability to be successful and included. Children are taught to learn from one another.

Each individual E-Soccer group consists of a head coach, assistant head coach, and a combination of personal or junior coaches as needed. Children are placed in an individual group according to age, ability, and individual goals in a way to provide optimal group learning and individual participation. It is encouraged that parents take time to get to know the head coach of your child's group and communicate your child's needs and goals.

A sort of 'pre-soccer-school' group is available for kids 3 and 4. We call this group 'The Rising Stars' group. These children must be accompanied by at least one parent or guardian during the one hour duration of the session. So, as a parent you will get in on the fun!

E-Soccer maintains a very liberal view of competition. Our biggest competitors are forces that hinder fully inclusive sports training. We do not view other soccer programs or other recreational inclusion programs as competition, but partners in building the community.

E-Soccer is offered free of charge for all families and operates from private donations. We happily accept monetary and equipment donations at any time. If you are interested in making a donation, please contact your local E-Soccer Director.
