When a child belongs to a team, they are part of something bigger than themselves, they feel belonging, they feel part of a community, they feel more secure and safe, more confident and are happier. But nearly 7 in 10 kids in underserved communities don’t have access to play on a team, to feel the belonging of teammates or supportive coaches or hear the cheering of fans & parents from the sidelines. Soccer is the world’s game but in the United States we are silent on the inequality that exists.
We’re on a mission to change this.
We unite financial resources and dedicated individuals to amplify positive change in communities through the power of soccer. By identifying, investing in, and inspiring the most effective nonprofit organizations, we tackle the barriers to youth soccer access head-on.
Our approach is strategic and intentional: we collaborate with experienced, locally-rooted, and forward-thinking organizations that share our vision of sustainability and community ownership. Together, we build soccer programs and projects that go beyond the field, fostering connection, empowerment, and long-term growth.
Our programs unite resources and expertise to create lasting impact in youth soccer. We partner with nonprofits to develop community-owned projects and provide scholar-athletes with academic advising, college counseling, and recruiting support. Through services like tutoring, test prep, and personalized guidance, we help students succeed in education, sports, and life.
We focus on building better people through soccer by empowering caring coaches and creating safe places to play. By fostering leadership, uniting communities, and expanding opportunities, we aim to inspire and transform lives. Join us in amplifying our mission and giving every child a chance to grow and thrive.
We provide scholar-athletes with mentorship, academic counseling, and recruiting outreach to help them succeed in education, sports, and life.
We believe in empowering coaches to shape better people and better players through soccer, transforming lives and uniting communities.
Every child deserves a safe place to play, and we’re committed to creating affordable opportunities for kids to enjoy the game and make lasting memories.
Raising Their Game believes that by giving more, we become more, using sports to uplift children and transform communities across the country.
Academic Tutoring provides students with necessary support in a variety of academic areas including, Writing, Grammar, Reading Comprehension, English Language Arts, Math, Science, History, National Advanced Placement (AP) courses, AP exam preparation, Executive Functioning, or generalized homework support. Prestige Prep approaches academic tutoring from a holistic perspective that covers the full criteria required for success in school: content, organization, study skills, intellectual curiosity, and confidence.
The Test Prep Program offers ACT or SAT test preparation classes to student-athletes. These classes will support students through two exam sittings. Classes teach players the content and strategies for success on the college entrance exams. This program includes classes personalized to target each student’s area for improvement. Standardized tests and AP exams require test-taking skills, stamina, organization, and emotional strength in addition to knowledge about the material. Each test prep class is ninety minutes long for small groups of five or fewer students and spans a duration of ten weeks.
Prestige Prep’s Full Service College Application Counseling program is a comprehensive roadmap for the complex journey through the college admissions process. The program guides students through a unique 11 unit curriculum, which spans list-building and coach outreach all the way through essay editing and application submission, with individualized support tailored to each student’s academic and athletic needs. For more than 25 years, Prestige Prep and College, Career and Life, have coached and advised hundreds of families through selecting and ranking schools, crafting applications, preparing for exams, polishing essays, and practicing interviews. Our team mentors students every step of the way, ensuring that students and families stay on track and are armed with the tips and strategies needed to make the process as stress-free as possible.
This program includes the following areas:
Our program costs $12,500 per scholar athlete to provide these individualized services from the beginning of Freshman year through the end of the first semester of Senior year – a 40 month period.
We believe in building better people to become better players through soccer.
A positive coach who strives to win games and has an even stronger commitment to the more important goal of teaching life lessons through sports will positively impact a child’s life.
Helping coaches and organizations understand how vitally important coaching roles are can change not only a child’s life but transform and unite an entire community.
We educate coaches on:
Every child deserves a safe place to play, so we’re aiming to create more playing opportunities for more kids! Renting appropriate facilities in the San Francisco Bay Area can be expensive but we are determined to find creative ways to find more playing fields at affordable rates so more kids can play and have fun. Afterall, childhood only comes once!
Born out of the idea that when we give more we become more, Raising Their Game aspires to positively impact the lives of children and communities across the United
States through sports.
