The roots of Coaches Across Continents (CaC) go back 20 years, when former England Youth International Nick Gates began to spread the love of soccer across cultures. Today, Nick’s organization is actively improving the health and well-being of at-risk children in developing countries.
Select has established a partnership with Coaches Across Continents to provide soccer equipment and apparel to children and CaC coaches in Uganda. The “Friends of Orphans” soccer development program is helping child soldiers, youth abductees and orphans living in the war zones of northern Uganda reintegrate into society.
“We saw a great opportunity to get involved with a high respected humanitarian program that uses soccer as a platform to enrich the lives of at-risk young people throughout Africa,” said Phil Holdsworth, general manager of Varsity Soccer, the official licensee of Select Uniforms & Equipment in the U.S.
