THE WORLD SOCCER PROJECT (WSP) is creating new soccer leagues for men and women in NEW YORK CITY - and around the world.

As with all adult soccer leagues, ours has a registration fee. But what makes ours different is that we will be using 50% of these fees to support education programs for children in need. Please see The Cause for more information.

We expect to launch our first leagues in various NYC locations during the latter part of 2009 and early 2010. Please see our Games & Events page for the latest information about our pick-up soccer groups and formal leagues in NYC.

What's different about our leagues?

(1) Our leagues are structured to contribute significantly and directly to local charities for children in need.

For example, in NYC, player registration fees will support crucial education programs for students in NYC's underfunded public schools - through our ground-breaking, exclusive partnership with THE FUND FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

(2) We're developing leagues to the highest standards possible. We will be using the best equipment. We will be using referees with the highest degree of certification available (usually FIFA certified refs). And we'll be introducing the most up-to-date, reliable and intuitive technology for on-line registration, interactive team pages, league tables, etc.

(3) Our leagues will be less expensive than the five biggest recreational leagues in NYC.

Morever, there are several other (mostly unique) benefits we'll be offering our players; these will be announced when early registration begins.

Because our leagues are expected to fill up quickly, you may want to be among the first to know when registration is open. For the latest information about start dates, and for other news, PLEASE SUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEWSLETTER under 'Sign Up!' (see the right margin of this page).
