Since 2009, the HandsOnSports Foundation has made it their mission to provide positive environments, education, and opportunity for at-risk youth through the global sport of soccer.
The HandsOnSports Foundation was founded by Otto Orf, a retired professional soccer player of 21 years who played the last 17 years with the Cleveland Crunch/Force. He was the goalkeeper for seven years with the United States Men’s National Futsal Team. Otto has an Urban Soccer Coaching certificate and is an assistant coach for the U.S. Mens Futsal National Team.
For the past 32 years, Otto has run his own small business, HandsOnSoccer, providing soccer and futsal instruction and programming for boys and girls of all ages and abilities. During this tenure Otto noticed the difficulties some families have securing the resources to put their child in a sport. Thus, the HandsOnSports Foundation was created to help provide more opportunities for youth to learn, play, and grow through the international sport of soccer.
The vision includes providing equipment, creating play spaces, and delivering instruction and financial support for youth in communities where opportunities are limited.
