Ball for All (Louisville, Kentucky) is an American nonprofit organization that supports youth soccer in Africa as a medium to enhance children’s confidence and leadership skills, promote teamwork, and contribute to a brighter future for Africa.

Ball for All assists boys and girls in impoverished African schools who play soccer. Combining the benefits of education and soccer, the charity supports urban and rural schools in west Africa, including Senegal and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

School teams are sponsored through tuition assistance, books, school supplies, uniforms and soccer equipment. Many schools have little more than chalkboards … no textbooks, no supplies, and no school sports.

Additional services by Ball for All includes training players and coaches, organizing tournaments, awarding scholastic prizes and identifying and promoting All-Star teams to higher league play.

Additional information on program details, sponsoring a team or player, and other donation opportunities can be found on their website.
