Ryogoku Soccer Academy (RSA) is a Kansas City nonprofit organization dedicated to providing young people with an all-encompassing educational experience that develops the whole person: cognitively, socially, physically, and morally.

Through academics, soccer, mentoring, service-learning, and community engagement, RSA creates opportunities for students to discover their strengths, develop leadership skills, and build the confidence they need to reach their full potential. We believe that education extends beyond the classroom and that athletics can be a powerful tool for teaching discipline, teamwork, perseverance, humility, respect, and responsibility.

RSA is committed to making meaningful opportunities accessible to students and families who may face barriers to traditional educational, athletic, and enrichment programs. Our students are encouraged to identify needs within their community and take action to make a difference. From community based service projects to neighborhood improvement initiatives, students learn that they have the ability, and the responsibility, to positively impact the world around them.

Our mission is “To provide an all-encompassing educational experience while advancing each individual's cognitive, social, physical, and moral development.” We strive to cultivate passion through commonalities and empower every student to rise to their full life potential.

Your support helps RSA provide educational opportunities, athletic programming, mentorship, community service experiences, and resources that allow young people to learn, lead, serve, and succeed.
