    2020 was a year of change across many aspects of our daily lives. The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way we work, go to school and it definitely impacted how we play sports.\u00a0 As our health became the focal point of the year, staying healthy both mentally and physically is a top priority. Yet, the communities in Omaha don’t have access to the same resources. Omaha Street Soccer wants to level the playing field by collaborating with local and regional organizations to make these resources accessible.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    \n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    Our primary focus for 2025 continues to be improving the soccer resources in North Omaha. Omaha Street Soccer offers a place for kids from K-6th grade to play at all skill levels. We are currently working on field locations, referee opportunities, and coaching support so that any child who wants to play soccer has an opportunity to do so. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
