ASA launched its first after-school program with Osborn School District in the Fall of 2023. The initial 6-week semester program has grown to four 6-week programs in Osborn. In the 24–25 school year, the Osborn program under the leadership of Excel Soccer Academy served over 200 kids, paving the way for its next chapter as the Lerner & Rowe After School Soccer Program.
By the fall of 2026, ASA is hoping to be in 8+ districts and introduce thousands of kids to the game of soccer.
