Community Soccer Program Needs Assistance

Missouri Valley Soccer Shut Down

For over 30 years our community has been home to a thriving soccer program nurturing young athletes instilling valuable life lessons. Recently we faced unforeseen challenges when disputes arose over the program's operations.
The situation escalated when our longstanding field lease with the City of Missouri Valley came into question due to its age. This resulted in a unanimous decision by the City Council to terminate the lease.
Regrettably the aftermath saw the removal of equipment from the fields, and a confiscation of community funds today, around 225 young players are without a soccer program and the future is uncertain.
We need your support.
Southwest Iowa Youth Development is dedicated to helping our community rebuild the Missouri Valley soccer group to replace the missing equipment. We estimate the cost exceeding $50,000.
Your generosity can make a significant impact as we move forward. We will keep you updated on our progress and fundraising events.
Thank you for believing in the power of youth sports and for standing with us as we work to rebuild the Missouri Valley soccer community.
