CEO of Street Soccer USA speaks with Brotherly Game about their plans in North Philly and Kensington.

The United States Soccer Foundation announced on Monday the recipients of their Summer 2016 Safe Places to Play Grants. Two organizations in the area were named among the seven total: Street Soccer USA’s Philadelphia chapter, and the Borough of Bound Brook, NJ. The USSF press release states, “Across the country, children in under-served communities face an acute shortage of safe places to play largely because there isn’t enough space in which to create them or funding to maintain them.
