Impact evidence

Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.

Programs described in its return (1)
  1. $112,020 spent. SOCCER FOR LIFE HAS ONE MAIN PROGRAM SERVICE. THIS IS OUR YOUTH SOCCER TEAMS. WE HAVE TEAMS FROM AGE 9 TO 18 YEARS OLD THAT COMPETE AGAINST OTHER YOUTH SOCCER CLUBS IN COLORADO. WE OFFER AN EXPERIENCE FOR YOUTH SOCCER THAT IS DIFFERENT THAN ANY OTHER CLUB IN COLORADO. WE ARE DIFFERENT BECAUSE AT ALL LEVELS (RECREATIONAL OR COMPETITIVE) WE PROVIDE OUR TEAMS WITH AN EXPERIENCED PAID COACH. OTHER CLUBS IN COLORADO USE VOLUNTEER COACHES FOR THEIR RECREATIONAL TEAMS. WE FEEL THIS IS NOT THE PROPER WAY TO TEACH YOUTH SOCCER. ALTHOUGH THIS CAUSES OUR EXPENSES TO BE HIGHER THAN OTHER CLUBS, IT IS A GREAT BENEFIT THAT SETS US APART FROM OTHER CLUBS.
