Addressing Girls' Needs
Soccer is a significant cultural activity for many South Bronx families, including those of Latino, African, and Caribbean heritages. However, participation among girls lags far beyond that of boys. South Bronx United aims to bring soccer to more inner-city and immigrant girls, and to use the sport to tackle a host of challenges and issues unique to girls.

South Bronx United is a Family
"South Bronx United is a family." - Jeffrey Cordova, 13. SBU travel teams provide a familial environment and integral support system for youth on and off the field. SBU youth receive support from each other and from their coaches and tutors, who serve as positive adult role models. Time and time again, at-risk youth say they just needed someone to listen. South Bronx United provides that.

Promoting Health and Wellness
A lack of affordable, healthy food options, a proliferation of fast food spots, and a lack of fitness opportunities for youth, and other factors, contribute to a South Bronx community with one of the highest obesity rates in the nation. Maintaining good mental health and overall healthy lifestyles are also challenges in dense, urban neighborhoods. South Bronx United aims to address all these issues through fitness promotion and healthy snacks, and by providing individualized mentoring for youth.
