Who we are
A youth nonprofit built by fathers, for the community
NextKick Youth Foundation Corporation is a California nonprofit organization focused on youth development through soccer and sport.
We serve children ages 6–16 and their families. We use soccer to give kids a place to be active, be part of a team, and grow as people.
NextKick is not only about teaching children how to play. It is about helping them develop confidence, discipline, and positive relationships that last beyond the field.
Why NextKick exists
We saw a need. So we started something.
NextKick was started by fathers who saw that children in our community needed more opportunities to stay active, play, and belong to something positive. Soccer was the natural place to start.
Children need opportunities to
- Stay active
- Participate in sports
- Build confidence
- Develop their personalities
- Learn teamwork
- Develop discipline
- Build positive relationships
- Become part of a supportive community
