"Switch the Pitch is a much-needed initiative in the soccer space to help create a more inclusive and anti-racist environment for players of all ages. Its action-oriented approach to educating players and coaches across the youth game is going to revolutionize the way we learn to combat racism in our sport.”

"The Switch the Pitch training activities and team discussions will be a great addition to practices because they provide players with tangible examples of how the game they love extends past the final whistle. I'm looking forward to using these activities to bring us closer as a team."

"It's so exciting to see two organizations I love, the Chicago Fire and Common Goal, support a collective movement to make youth soccer a more inclusive space. Switch the Pitch is a great opportunity for clubs and coaches to come together in a spirit of action and collaboration."

"Switch the Pitch is an initiative that is sorely needed in soccer, and I know it's going to help create more inclusive spaces for everyone. To create an anti-racist environment, you have to learn, re-learn, unlearn, and take action. Switch the Pitch does all of that, and to educate players and coaches in the youth ranks will help us form the more inclusive sport that we seek."

"If we give coaches the tools to better understand the issues of racial discrimination, we can keep more kids in the and make soccer inclusive for everyone"

"I believe all coaches need Switch the Pitch. It helps me reframe my own 20+ years of coaching experience reflecting on what I have been doing and where I can also grow and evolve, especially around awareness of our players’ cultures, backgrounds, and communities."
