As a 501(c)(3) non-profit soccer organization, Lonestar Soccer Club’s mission is to be the best youth soccer club in the nation while developing good people. As part of our mission, we believe every child deserves the opportunity and environment to be a part of a team, regardless of their age, skill, background, or socioeconomic status. P.L.A.Y. (Protecting the Lives of All Youth) is a commitment to our mission and to all kids who deserve acceptance regardless of who they are, where they come from, what they believe in, who they love, or the color of their skin. As a reflection of this, every player at Lonestar Soccer Club proudly wears the P.L.A.Y. logo on their uniforms. Through P.L.A.Y. and the Lonestar Financial Aid Program, we never turn a player away from the beautiful game by giving players the opportunity to be a part of a team through financial assistance.
What is P.L.A.Y.?
Each year, players, teams, families, staff, and the greater community rallies together to raise funds through a multi-week fundraising drive, where 100% of proceeds are directed to the Lonestar Financial Aid program and underserved youth. Players fundraise with their team in order to meet a common goal, with prizes and incentives available to the highest fundraising teams and individuals who go above and beyond in their support. The fundraising effort culminates in an end where our membership joins together on the field to play and celebrate the common goal of bringing soccer to those who need it the most, including our own teammates!
In the last fiscal year, Lonestar Soccer Club fundraised over $110,000, and awarded over $660,000 to players and families in need. In total, the Lonestar Financial Aid Program has generated over 1.9 million dollars and awarded over 4.2 million dollars to over 7,000 players across Austin and Central Texas. Despite the financial deficit, Lonestar Soccer Club refuses to alter the course of bringing soccer to every player who wishes to play where there is space. This year, more than ever, families will rely on the financial backing of the club to continue supporting their child’s development both on and off the field.
Please consider a charitable, tax-deductible donation towards a player or team's fundraising page in support of P.L.A.Y. or find a fundraising page to get started! Your donation will ensure that all players have an environment to be themselves, with 100% of proceeds raised supporting underserved youth.
