Empowering Individuals
on the Autism Spectrum Through the Power of Sport.
Since its inception in 2012, it has expanded to over 18 countries, impacting more than 25,000 children. The program enhances brain function by improving tactical, visual, and auditory processing skills, while fostering social connections. Autism Soccer fills a vital gap in autism services, offering athletes opportunities for growth, confidence, and empowerment.

This creates a high demand for autism-related services in the behavioral health industry, but often outstrips the supply of providers. Autism Soccer helps fill this opportunity gap by promoting the inclusion of children and adults with ASD through the teaching of soccer skills in an environment of support, understanding and love. Here are five reasons why Autism Soccer provides a compelling franchise opportunity:
