Mission Statement

The mission of Midas Football Academy is to mentor children and teenagers from becoming at-risk youth using the tools of soccer and vocational education to discover their true purpose.

Description

In the Houston community, crime rates among youth are alarmingly high, with an average of 5 to 8 teenagers aged 14 to 18 involved in criminal activities daily. Our research indicates a significant link between these behaviors and the absence of positive role models and mentors. Midas Football Academy has embraced football (soccer) and vocational education as powerful tools to counteract this trend and offer these young people constructive alternatives to criminal involvement.

We believe that football can teach vital life skills such as teamwork, discipline, and persistence, while vocational training offers practical skills for employment. Our comprehensive approach not only aims to keep youth out of crime but also helps them become valuable, contributing members of society. By expanding their horizons through sports and mentorship, we provide these young individuals with the tools to make better choices, pursue legitimate careers, and build a positive future.

Our model at Midas Football Academy is very unique and focuses on three areas.

I. Making soccer a Right to Play and making pathways to professional football & education

II. Eliminating behavioral issues and promoting character development & personal purpose

III. Discourage obesity by promoting a healthy lifestyle resulting in a good community citizen.
