JUST ONE GOAL
Because Every Child Deserves a Chance to Play
OUR WHY:
Just One Goal exists to ensure every child - regardless of background - has
the opportunity to experience the transformative impact of soccer. Through
financial scholarships, we remove barriers and open doors, helping young
athletes grow not just as players, but as people. Soccer builds more than skills
- it develops teamwork, resilience, discipline, leadership, and confidence.
These life lessons stay with players long after they leave the field.
OUR STORY:
Sporting Iowa is more than a soccer club - we are a community of families,
coaches, and players dedicated to growing great humans through the
game. From our grassroots programs in WDMSC & JUSC starting at 4U
through competitive teams up to 19U, we serve athletes across Iowa united
by a love for soccer and character development.
