Cutters Soccer Club’s Community Outreach Program strives to bring soccer, and everything the game has to offer, to youth in Bloomington who would otherwise not have the opportunity to play. This includes those with special needs, those who are economically disadvantaged and those who identify with groups which are underrepresented in our Club or in the general soccer community. The Community Outreach Program is a free program offered by Cutters Soccer Club.
