About Future ChampsFootball, otherwise known as soccer in the United States, is one of the most popular sports in Jamaica. Although soccer doesn't require much equipment, many people can't afford to purchase soccer cleats, shin guards or soccer balls just for the sake of play. Often young people play in sneakers or even barefoot.
Future Champs believes in the power of play and its ability to help young people achieve their goals. (pun intended) Together, we can equip students with what they need to play well, play hard, and play to their strengths. |

THE BACK STORYThis initiative was started by Grayam Church who was 16 when he first sent a shipment of cleats and sports gear with 350 pounds of clothing and shoes to Jamaica. The cleats and gear were a big hit. Each year, his family returns to visit Jamaica and in 2019, Grayam thought he could put his love for soccer, annual family trips, and privilege growing up in the United States to good use. That year, Future Champs was born.
