Every Kid Deserves to Play.

RISE Soccer Project is building a future where every child has the opportunity to discover the joy of soccer, regardless of their background, experience, or financial circumstances.

Through free and affordable programs, we remove barriers and empower young athletes and their families with the knowledge, confidence, and support to thrive in the game.

The Driving Force

    Andrew Li

    EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

    Andrew is the founder of RISE. Having played soccer since age five, he saw firsthand how some friends were left behind because they lacked access and guidance. He hopes RISE will give every child and family the opportunity to pursue the game.

  • Andrew Yang

    PROGRAMS DIRECTOR

    Yang was the kid at the local park hoping someone would join him for a game of soccer. That inspired his belief that children deserve an accessible place to play, belong, and grow. Through RISE, he's creating that welcoming grassroots community for the next generation.
