Each year, local businesses and philanthropy-minded individuals have an opportunity to make a singular impact on youth sports in Northeast Baltimore with a tax deductible gift to SFAAA. Our Golden Field Sponsors essentially "adopt" a soccer field, with their funding going to support new equipment, supplies, and field lining for two or more youth soccer teams. Sponsors are periodically acknowledged across all SFAAA communications channels, including print, digital and social media, reaching potentially thousands of SFAAA adult and youth members, and friends, neighbors, and alumni of our program. Sponsors also receive complimentary tickets to our annual Night at the Races fundraising event each February.
Apple Auto was our first "Golden" tier sponsor in 2023.
If interested in sponsorship for Fall 2025 or beyond, please contact our president at sfa.athletics@gmail.com.
In 2022, SFAAA transitioned from SportsSignUp Play to SportsEngine HQ. Every team has its own web page on our new site, which coaches and parents can use to stay connected and informed using team chat and email. We strongly encourage everyone to download the Apple or Android version of the app because it's the best way to message each other on practice and game days.
Join us on February 7 at 6:30pm for our annual Night at the Races fundraiser. Come out for a great time while raising money to support our athletes. See you there!
Thank you for a great Fall 2024 season with SFAAA Soccer! It was one of your strongest seasons yet, serving 264 youth players across our clinic and CYO league play, supported by dozens of volunteer coaches, board members and others in the community.
SFAAA is made possible by volunteers, and that’s why we dedicated our fall season to Coach Al Udris, who helped launch SFAAA over 50 years ago and retired from volunteer service this past summer. Thank you for your service, Coach Al!

SFAAA has served children in the community for over 60 years thanks to the many, many parents and caregivers who volunteer to coach a youth soccer team or assist the association in other ways, big and small.
Parents and others who volunteer are supported and guided by SFAAA board members and other long-time volunteers. They also tend to have a lot of fun together!
