Disability Service Organizations

Disability soccer plays an important role in the broader soccer community. We are committed to investing in its continued progress and growth across all levels. U.S. Soccer is creating safe and inclusive environments for participants to thrive, from grassroots to our National Teams – every person matters in our ecosystem.

1. Increased awareness: Supporting Disability Soccer Month and creating resources to increase awareness, especially among new participants through the Soccer Forward marketing campaign.
2. Meaningful collaboration: Our expanding AdaptandThrive program connects ENTs with grassroots Disability Service Organizations (DSOs) to foster mentorship and build leadership skills – an important element of our U.S. Way strategy. Our growing DSO community is helping people with disabilities to participate at all levels find a place to play.
3. Best practices: Through Soccer Forward and in partnership with the DSO community, we are developing best practices and resources to enhance the playing experience and long-term development of athletes with disabilities.
