WHO WE ARE
More Than A Game is a non-profit organization that uses the beautiful game to bring MORE to those who have less. We give vulnerable youth the opportunity to grow in character, leadership, and teamwork through soccer camps, tournaments, and leagues. We reach refugee youth both in the United States and internationally. We host soccer tournaments in the U.S. and the proceeds go towards building leagues in villages and refugee communities worldwide where help is needed.

Donate…to make an impact. 100% of donated money will go directly towards our projects or otherwise specified. All of our administrative expenses are covered through our U.S. tournament team fees, allowing us to use the remaining revenue for leagues and community development projects. |
Why We Do What We Do:
It's not just a game, it's More Than A Game. Your team is not playing only for the glory of the competition on the field, but every team is playing to help develop leagues in villages that need health, education, economic, and spiritual development. It starts with a game, but it's so much more. We use the money from tournaments and donations to support clubs and leagues that are developing youth where help is needed most. We infuse a curriculum that teaches teamwork, integrity, and character into the leagues. We partner with respected contacts and organizations who are working in native villages or refugee camps to provide sustainable community development to those who need it most. We help restore a sense of normality to refugee children by starting clubs in their camps, coaching local coaches, and putting on tournaments overseas as well as in the U.S.
