Project Inspire

Will’s story and passion for soccer highlight the incredible potential that athletes with intellectual disabilities have when given the opportunity to play. Project Inspire is here to help them unlock that potential by creating a league where they can showcase their talent and love for the game. Everyone deserves a place on the field!!

There are over 700,000 athletes in the US currently lacking a nationwide soccer league to play in. But Project Inspire is set to change that. Will Daniel - spokesperson, athlete, and devoted Richmond Kickers fan - is just one of many individuals with intellectual disabilities whose potential is limited to local, recreational leagues. Project Inspire aims to help people like Will achieve their dream of playing the sport they love competitively, persistently, and on a national scale. Targeting it’s launch in 2025, Project Inspire will promote teams in an array of cities across the country, competing on a coast-basis and working with professionals specializing in adaptive sports. We hope this initiative generates an impact that goes beyond the soccer field. To get involved, visit ProjectInspireUSA.org ???? #redefinewhatspossible

We’re honored to announce Walter Montillo as project inspire’s first official commitment ambassador! ???? Montillo’s impressive career is marked by his commitment both on and off the soccer field which perfectly embodies the spirit of Project Inspire. He’s a strong advocate for inclusion, especially in public schools for neurodivergent children- making him an obvious choice to be our commitment ambassador. Montillo not only is a strong advocate, but also is a renowned player himself from representing the Argentine national team alongside Messi, to wearing the iconic #10 jersey for Santos. We’re so proud to have him representing our values as his passion aligns strongly with our mission. We couldn’t ask for a better leader in this journey! ???? #ProjectInspire #RedefineWhatPossible?
