    Join Ali Krieger and Mia Hamm to Help Kids Play Soccer

    Game on! Join the #kick4clubfoot CHALLENGE


    Dear friends,

    At miraclefeet, we love soccer. It's truly the world's sport. We're very excited about the kick-off of the Women's World Cup in a few days, and we wish our friend and miraclefeet ambassador Ali Krieger best wishes as she plays for the U.S. Women's National Team!

    Soccer players are not allowed to use their hands - but what if they couldn't use their feet? Imagine if soccer stars like Mia Hamm, who was born with clubfoot, couldn't play soccer. Because of clubfoot, a common birth defect, over a million children around the world may never have a chance to score a goal or even walk. But miraclefeet believes every child should have a chance to experience the thrill of making contact with the soccer ball and kicking it across the field.

    Join Ali Krieger for our #kick4clubfoot soccer challenge starting June 4th, 2015

    GOAL: raise $10,000 to level the playing field for kids with clubfoot

    HOW TO PLAY: Show us your soccer moves!
    Post a 10-second video of your best soccer kicks and tricks, and challenge a friend to show off some moves or donate $10 to miraclefeet!

    Share your video on Facebook, Twitter (@miraclefeet) or on Instagram (@miraclefeet) with #kick4clubfoot
    Here's your script:
    I kick for clubfoot!
    [AWESOME SOCCER TRICK]
    I challenge ___ to kick for clubfoot.

    If we reach our $10k goal, Ali Krieger will share her own soccer tricks & tips in a personal message.

    Don't you know that this involves women's soccer and women's soccer will be dead in this country just as soon as the World Cup is over. The naysayers here have predicted it and are rooting for it's demise. It's only men's soccer from now on in this country.

      One thing for sure, girls soccer will not be dead on this TS Oregon soccer site. It is the center of the universe for youth girls soccer... at least in the parents eyes. You are correct, everywhere else, no one cares.

        Girls soccer in the US is growing rapidly. The quality is improving as well.
