USWNT Visits Decatur Recreation Center

Yesterday was an exciting day at the Decatur Recreation Center! With the SheBelieves Cup 2024 approaching this Saturday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, the USWNT is in town and made a special visit to the Global Village Project school. Inside the rec center gym, they presented students with cleats and jerseys. The school is comprised of middle school girls, all refugees, who utilize the Decatur Recreational Center weekly for physical education classes.

These classes are taught by staff from Soccer In the Streets, a local non-profit committed to empowering Atlanta’s youth through soccer training, character development, and employability programs.

Soccer In the Streets firmly believes that “everyone should have the opportunity to play, regardless of who they are or where they live.” Their mission is to “level the playing field for all.”
