2024 NIRSA National Soccer Rosters

USAFF Partnership

  • The USAFF (United States Amputee Soccer Federation) is thrilled to announce a two-day soccer camp, featuring the inaugural NIRSA Amputee National Championship! This event will bring together athletes from across the nation to experience the excitement and camaraderie of amputee soccer. Designed to be accessible for all skill levels, the camp encourages participants to "grab a pair of crutches and try out this incredible sport" in a supportive, dynamic environment.
  • Throughout the weekend, participants will engage in skill-building exercises, friendly scrimmages, and drills tailored to the unique demands of the sport. The camp aims to develop core soccer skills, boost confidence, and foster teamwork among amputee athletes.
  • The highlight of the camp will be the NIRSA Amputee National Championship, a groundbreaking event celebrating the talent and resilience of these athletes. We welcome everyone to join us—whether as players, supporters, or volunteers—as we build a community that champions strength, inclusivity, and athletic excellence.
