Our Mission
THE MILWAUKEE SIMBA SOCCER CLUB (MSSC) utilizes soccer as an organizing tool to channel urban, minority, and low-income youth into organized activities that are designed to promote soccer as part of a healthy lifestyle and academic achievement. The work of MSSC is to build a strong, diverse soccer culture in the central city of Milwaukee whose members are afforded an opportunity to play and compete at the highest levels their soccer skills will allow.
About Us
FOUNDED IN 1996 and re-established in 2013, the Milwaukee Simba Soccer Club is a nonprofit, city-based soccer club, which works in Milwaukee’s central city, focusing on the development of young athletes as good citizens and excellent soccer players. After going dormant for a number of years, the club has been experiencing a renascence as a central city soccer club. During the past 10 years, the Simbas have developed 10 teams with over 125 players. By emphasizing soccer fundamentals, physical fitness, and healthy life skills, Simba teams are noted for their competitiveness and excellent sportsmanship.
GET A MEMBERSHIP To be a Simba, the only requirements are a desire to learn, appreciate, and love competition in the beautiful sport. Of course, team members must adhere to the policies and procedures of the club, and satisfy any club fee requirement.
MSSC Program Outreach & Development
THE MSSC is a membership organization, the club has, also, provided soccer and life skills development programming for the Milwaukee Public Schools Soccer Program, the Children Outing Association (COA) Riverwest, COA Goldin Center, Operation Dream, Purposeful PLAY, Milwaukee College Prep School, Northcott Neighborhood House, Hopkins Lloyd, and the Parklawn YMCA.
OUR OUTREACH is an important tool for introducing central city youth to soccer, nutrition and healthy life skills lessons. This activity also allows for the MSSC to identify players who might want to pursue opportunities to play, referee, and coach soccer.
WE HAVE introduced hundreds of African-American youth to soccer through its outreach work. The club also encourages and has achieved a high degree of ethnic diversity amongst its teams.
