History of the SoccerPlus Education Center

SoccerPlus Education Center was created in 2004 and granted Non-Profit 501(c)-3 status in 2005. SoccerPlus Education Center’s President, Tony DiCicco is a native of the greater Hartford area and was the former US Women’s National Soccer Team coach winning a World Cup in 1999 and leading the US Women to an Olympic Gold in Atlanta in 1996.  Tony has been involved directly with all the company programs from the creation.

SoccerPlus Education Center’s Mission Statement

The SoccerPlus Education Center is a Connecticut-based 501-c-3 non-profit service organization. SoccerPlus Education Center strives to develop not only better soccer players, but better citizens. This is achieved through educational programs, seminars, community outreach events and individual mentoring on and off the soccer field. We use not only our outstanding coaches but also the players of SoccerPlus CT Reds as role models. SoccerPlus uses the game of soccer to facilitate character development. With the Reds players we have a unique opportunity to promote essential life values such as team work, leadership, and healthy living to the young people of our community.

SoccerPlus Education Center programs, activities, accomplishments

The SoccerPlus Education Center is focused on three primary programs that work together:

I. KICKBACK PROGRAM - which makes major donations of lightly used soccer training equipment and clothing to groups in need. Boxes of gear have been delivered to a groups in El Salvador, Brazil, to Ethan Zohn’s Grassroots program in Africa, as well as locally in downtown Hartford and to the Project Goal Program in Providence, R.I.

 

II. ED CENTER PRESENTATIONS – hosts presentations on a variety of topics free of charge for the local community in an effort to teach important life skills. Presentations have been well-attended (30- 320 attendees) and supported by the local community: including FSASoccerPlus FC players and parents, local college students, high school and club coaches, as well as a variety of other groups. Run from September through May each year.

III. SoccerPlus Connecticut  Reds – Women’s Premier Amateur Soccer Team

The Reds team was created in February of 2007 as vehicle to get the SoccerPlus Education Center out into the community. These female athletes act as great role models within the community and allow us to go out into our community and make a difference. In addition we are providing the players with an opportunity to reach for their dreams of playing at the next highest level.
