The Richmond Street Soccer project will be having an event this Saturday,
May 30th from 12 – 2 p.m. in Monroe Park. If you are interested in
participating or learning more about the project, this is the perfect time
to learn more.

The street soccer team is a project of the Daily Planet and is also
sponsored by the Richmond Kickers. The purpose of the team is to create a
fun and healthy atmosphere for Richmond’s homeless and potentially homeless
individuals, where for a few hours a week, they can forget about their
problems and experience achievement through sports. Outreach services will
be offered to players to assist them on a personal level.

Saturday’s event will be a culmination of our recruiting efforts – we will
mainly be giving more information to interested players and playing a bit of
soccer. Practices start June 1 and last through the end of July, with a
national tournament in Washington D.C. sponsored by the national
organization, Street Soccer USA. If you are interested in being a part of
this project and would like to learn more about how you can help or get
plugged in, we’ll have more information for you this Saturday.
