Our Story
A.K. Support Soccer For All was born from a passion for soccer and a belief that every player deserves the chance to thrive. Our founder, Anisha Kinnarath Salam, began her journey as a youth player and went on to compete at the NCAA Division I level at North Dakota State University. Through her experience as a player, coach, and mentor, she saw firsthand the challenges girls and underrepresented youth face in accessing high-quality sport opportunities.
With a BSc in Exercise Science, an MSc in Physiotherapy, and CONCACAF National B and C coaching licences, Anisha combined her expertise with her vision to create an organization dedicated to inclusion, equity, and long-term participation. Today, A.K. Support Soccer For All empowers players through mentorship, grassroots programs, youth camps, and educational resources—keeping kids engaged in soccer, developing their skills, and building confidence for life both on and off the field.
