- It is the mission of First Kicks of Florida Foundation, Inc. to provide soccer opportunities for all youth regardless of ability to pay by offering scholarship funds. The First Kicks of Florida Foundation, Inc. was created in 2010 as a private, non-profit, soccer interest group based in Tallahassee, FL. The foundation offers needs-based financial assistance to local youth soccer players in Gadsden, Leon and Wakulla counties.

It is incorporated under the law of the State of Florida as First Kicks of Florida Foundation, Inc, and is recognized by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization.
The Foundation may also provide scholarships for referee licenses and coaching certifications for youth.
