GOAL is to graduate 10,000 kids by World Cup 2026
What Is “Get On The Bus”?
Get On the Bus launched its pilot program in Maryland through Ellicott City Soccer Club in spring 2018 by serving 41 elementary school participants. After this inaugural season, Ellicott City Soccer Club won the MSYSA Grassroots Futures Award for this groundbreaking program. The press from the MSYSA award resulted in attention from state associations, clubs, and leagues around the country, and GOTB is now working through I-15.org to expand to several states for participation beginning in 2019. GOTB consists of local staff on the ground for each program as well as a national staff of directors.
