At Global Soccer Access (GSA), we believe that the distance between a child and their potential is often just one piece of equipment. For a young athlete living in an underserved community, a soccer ball isn't just a toy—it is a ticket to a world of discipline, health, and hope.

The One Ball, One Shot initiative is our flagship program designed to remove the most basic barrier to entry in the world's most popular sport.

OUR MISSION: DEFENDING THE GAP

In many of the regions we serve—from the mountains of Guatemala to the provinces of Panamá—the cost of a soccer ball can equal a family's weekly food budget. When parents are forced to choose between a meal and a ball, the dream of playing is sidelined.

The Global Keeper, Victor Chu, founded this initiative to ensure that no child’s potential is ignored simply because they lack the tools. We don't just send equipment; we deliver a message: You are worth the investment.

THE IMPACT: BEYOND THE PITCH

When you support One Ball, One Shot, you are providing more than rubber and stitching. You are providing:

• Healing through Play: For children overcoming trauma or neglect, soccer offers a restorative outlet for joy.

• Empowerment: Owning a brand-new ball and a pump to maintain it instills a sense of pride and responsibility.

• Community: One ball creates a game; a game creates a team; a team creates a support system.

THE GSA GUARANTEE

Every donation to this initiative goes directly toward the procurement and distribution of:

1. High-Quality Soccer Balls: Durable, "legacy-grade" balls designed to withstand rough terrain.

2. Individual Pumps: Empowerment means independence. By providing a pump with every donation, we ensure the "Access" lasts for years, not just days.

3. Mentorship: Whenever possible, our balls are hand-delivered by The Global Keeper and our team of volunteers to provide encouragement and training.
