We Train From Cradle To College
"Train up a child in the way he should go; and when he is old, he will not depart from it."
Proverbs 22:6
We value every child equally and ensure that training and game opportunities are focused to create an environment that fosters positive growth in physical fitness, giving hope in education, physical health, and behavioral awareness.
Who We Are
Kicks for Kids Worldwide United Soccer Association for Youth Inc. (WUSAY) is a free soccer program that was founded in 1997 as an independent partnership program with the Columbus Crew. With Rev. Merv A. Brereton as founder and Head Coach, Kicks for Kids worked to provide free soccer tickets and skills clinics to local youth organizations.
Today, Kicks for Kids WUSAY Inc. serves as a local youth outreach organization, in leading families into a progressive relationship, a superb redefining vision, for youth mentoring resources and after school physical fitness outreach.
What We Do
We work to enhance health and wellness opportunities through free soccer programs, track, and field sports. We give every child opportunities to participate in building a lasting relationship with their community and schools, to improve the well being and equality of life through education, and training to develop high standards, productivity and accountability.
Our Focus
Our focus is to create an environment that fosters positive growth for boys and girls ages 4-18 with family engagement programs. The program also offers mentoring, after school tutoring, physical training, health education, and job behavioral awareness.
Currently the program is offering a variety of help to youth on the Near East, North, South, and West Side of Columbus to reduce and prevent the fast growing health epidemics.
The Kicks for Kids WUSAY program values every youth, and ensures that trained coaches are on site at every field to implement effective academic models to youth. The program also conducts regular workshops to prevent youth violence, obesity, and bullying while promoting community health and wellness, including positive healthy nutritional choices.
We believe we can positively reach kids through soccer fundamentals and steer them clear of obstacles to a healthy childhood.
