The Mobile Ball

An opportunity to get our young people off the streets by helping them regain their self-confidence through awareness programs. We offer day camp, weekend camp, mentoring, study and training center in a high level sports complex.

The Mobile Ball program

The Mobile Ball program is an innovative initiative that aims to reach immigrant communities where they are located. We offer:

— “Pop-up” awareness programs focused on grassroots soccer

— Life lessons and training for players, coaches, and referees

— Weekend day camps

— A mentoring program

— A study and training center located in our Mirabel complex

Our approach is based on Ali Gerba's belief that “we are the product of our environment”. By sharing our knowledge, our tools and by encouraging young people, we seek to activate powerful levers for personal and social transformation.

The Mobile Ball project in detail

The Mobile Ball is much more than a simple sports program. It is a safe space designed to support young people through soccer, helping them develop their confidence, resilience and spirit of mutual support. Our holistic approach includes:

— A mentoring program

— School support

— Professional training sessions

— The intervention of specialists in psychological development

— Inspiring conferences

In addition, the Mobile Ball organizes sports events featuring well-known and inspiring personalities, going directly to meet young people in their communities.

When Soccer Rhymes with Social Integration

The “Mobile Ball” program offers pop-up awareness workshops to immigrant communities, offering them opportunities to play soccer. Beyond sport, participants benefit from enriching life lessons and the program also includes training for players, coaches and referees. Through the “Mobile Ball”, soccer becomes a bridge between different cultures, facilitating the integration of immigrant communities into society.

Building relationships through soccer

By playing soccer, individuals from diverse backgrounds find themselves united by a common passion, learning not only the rules of the game, but also those of living together. Training sessions and matches become special moments for exchanges, sharing experiences and forging lasting friendships. Soccer teaches respect, cooperation and perseverance, essential values that transcend the playing field to apply to the daily lives of young people.

Every pass and every goal scored not only to the team's victory, but also to the successful integration of young people into their new community.

“I founded the Mobile Ball project with the sole aim of offering, through soccer, an opportunity to get our young people off the streets. I believe that offering them all the support they need in a high-level sports complex will not only help them regain self-confidence, but also socialize and regain a sense of belonging to a positive clan.”
