Goodson Foundation SOCCER & STEAM Camp

                The Goodson Foundation provides Soccer and STEAM Camps to students grades K-12. US Men’s National Team and MLS Veteran Clarence Goodson, along with wife Kelsey, established the Goodson Foundation to create greater opportunities for Bay Area students to grow their athletic ability, further expand academics, and develop the next generation of motivated, creative, student leaders who are confident to dream and fight for their success, on and off the soccer pitch. The Goodson Foundation is passionate to incorporate art curriculum into the well established STEM program for a more full and comprehensive camp experience.

Our mission is to provide underrepresented youth with the opportunity to attend soccer and STEAM camps, clinics, and private sessions coached by USSF A & B Licensed coaches, as well as current and retired professional soccer players in the Greater Bay Area. The Goodson Foundation aims to empower, train, and help young talent learn from professionals and hone their skills in soccer and STEAM. The Goodson Foundation has carefully curated elite athletics with STEAM to train up the next generation of creative leaders.
