MORE THAN A SOCCER PLAYER

Every young person deserves a place to belong, an opportunity to grow, and someone who believes in who they can become.

At Cumbre Alta, soccer opens that door for hundreds of young people in Ecuador and Costa Rica—many of whom would not otherwise have access to the same opportunities.

But what we’re building goes far beyond soccer.

We want every young person in our program to have a local coach who knows their name, shows up week after week, walks alongside their family, and helps them grow on and off the field.

These relationships bring mentorship, discipleship, and opportunities to experience the love of Jesus.

Your sponsorship helps make that relationship possible.

WHAT YOUR SPONSORSHIP CREATES

A PLACE TO BELONG

OPPORTUNITY TO GROW

Coaching, training, mentorship, and opportunities beyond the field of play.

AN INVESTED COACH

Local leaders invest in players on a weekly basis, walk alongside them, and develop their growth—on and off the field.

A Story of Impact

"God brought the church to me"

- Jhon, former Cumbre Alta player, current coach​

Jhon came to Cumbre Alta to play. He dropped out of school as a 14 year old but through the relationships and support he found at the club, he returned to the classroom and graduated from high school.

But Jhon’s transformation went deeper than soccer or education. Before Cumbre Alta, he had never been part of a church and says he likely never would have walked through the doors of one on his own. Instead, he found belonging through the coaches and Cumbre Alta staff who walked alongside him and helped point him to faith in Jesus.

Looking back, Jhon describes it simply: “God brought the church to me.”

After several years as a player, Cumbre Alta provided Jhon with a scholarship to earn his coaching license. Today, he is a coach—walking alongside the next generation and helping kids discover the same opportunity, purpose, and hope that changed the direction of his own life.
