The Social Service Board sponsors soccer teams for teenagers 14 to 16
years old: a boys’ team and a girls’ team.  The mission is to keep
these teenagers off the streets while teaching them leadership,
values, and good sportsmanship. Most of the kids involved are from
underprivileged families that have immigrated from Latin-American
countries.  The kids are mostly beginners and practice twice a week
after school, developing their soccer skills as well as the discipline
required in playing a sport.  In addition, they spend one day a week
after school involved in leadership development and educational
activities.

On Saturdays, they participate in the LA Liga Soccer League. From June
to October they play outdoors. From November to March they play
indoors.

SSB Member Henry Bunch is responsible for the LA Liga Soccer program.
