Autism Soccer: Where Is Autism Soccer Going Now?

The future looks bright for this amazing organization.

In 2012, we started Autism Soccer with the hope of helping children with autism spectrum disorder. It was a simple goal, inspired by our CEO Oscar Amuz’s desire of making a difference in his community. All great ideas start just like that: by first believing in ourselves and making our way up, step by step. There have been an enormous amount of volunteers and friends that have helped us along the way. We wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for them. We couldn’t aspire for more if it weren’t for them. But now, we are aspiring for more!

In these past five years, we’ve helped around 2,000 children with intellectual and physical disabilities, going beyond assisting autistic individuals. Through soccer lessons, we’ve taught them the importance of sports in their life, and we’ve given them a space to grow up, make friends, have fun, and develop their skills. Every day, we see how sports change their lives and the lives of everyone around them, and we also see how they become happier and overcome their limitations.

Help us reach out to more than 10,000 children across the country!

So it’s only natural that we want to continue on this incredible journey and reach out to as many people as we can. Up until this point, we’ve only been Miami-based, but we’re currently looking to expand operations all across the United States so that we can help as many as 10,000 new children within the next 5 years. With time, hard work, and effort, we know that someday we’ll be able to have an international presence and have an even greater impact in the lives of thousands of children all around the world.

With over 3,000 hours of experience and a comprehensive 80-hour curriculum to train coaches, parents, and individuals involved in the organization, we do more than just working with the children. We pass knowledge forward, so everyone has the potential to change someone’s life and offer kids new possibilities and activities. Thanks to our expertise, we’re one hundred percent ready to face whatever comes in our way and to create new models and sports plans to empower our kids and strengthen their bonds with their families.

However, we know we won’t be able to do it all alone. We need people like you, who understand the value of every human being and love's transformative power to make the world a better place. When you donate, your support goes directly toward purchasing equipment, necessary supplies for our program, as well as improving our operations and administrative processes so we can continue to grow and reach more children every year.

It’s just like our founder says: “I might not be able to change the world but I will like to change my community.” Believe it or not, that’s exactly how people end up changing the world. Focus on what you can do from where you are, and each day, you’ll realize you’ll be able to do more and more for the people who need it the most. Are you on board?
