3. Mission

a tool for social change by developing programs
that foster the physical, mental, and emotional
growth and development of boys and girls in El
Paso's Segundo Barrio neighborhood and beyond.

4. Origins
Segundo Barrio Futbol Club was founded in the
summer of 2011. Coach Simon and Coach Luis had
been coaching a soccer team at la Fe Preparatory
school since 2009. Aware of the interest in soccer
in the neighborhood, they decided to open up
participation to all children.
By the end of that summer, Segundo Barrio
Futbol Club had formed two teams.

22. Our Players
Many of our players come from low income
families. If it were not for Segundo Barrio Futbol
Club most would not be playing organized sports.
Some of our players come from difficult family
situations. Participating in the soccer club gives
them extra support and provides an additional
safety net in their lives.
