AFC Bournemouth and the Vegas Golden Knights are teaming up to get pro-style gear on Las Vegas kids while boosting access to local soccer. This fall, the partnership is backing the Vegas Bourne Youth Soccer League with free uniforms, youth clinics and watch-party events meant to make the sport easier to play across the valley.
This season the Foley Entertainment Group donated 850 customized soccer uniforms to the Mayor’s Fund for Las Vegas LIFE to outfit players in the Vegas Bourne Youth Soccer League, according to Vegas Golden Knights. KTNV reports the community program now includes nearly 2,000 players across the valley, with the fall season running through November 22. The outlet also notes the league is a collaboration between Clark County Parks and Recreation, City National Bank and Foley Entertainment Group.
What kids get and where they play
Players receive full, Premier League–style kits — reversible black‑and‑red jerseys, shorts and socks — so teams take the field in a complete matchday set, according to 102.7 VGS. Games for the city league are staged at city parks, with match play at the Bettye Wilson West Soccer Complex and practices at All‑American Park, per the City of Las Vegas. The city’s youth‑sports page also lists a $95 registration fee and says jerseys, shorts and socks are provided to players while families supply shin guards.
Camps, watch parties and outreach
Beyond uniforms, AFC Bournemouth has hosted weeklong summer camps and organized watch parties in Las Vegas, with a June camp presented by City National Bank and held at the Bettye Wilson fields, as described by the Vegas Golden Knights. The June 9–13 camp was led by AFC Bournemouth coaches and drew more than 100 local participants. Those events, hosted at City National Arena and other local spots, are part of the club’s push to build a fanbase and youth pathway in the valley.
Club leaders say they’re in it for the long haul
Jim Frevola, AFC Bournemouth’s president of business operations, told KTNV that “Bournemouth is here to stay,” framing the effort as a long‑term commitment to Las Vegas youth. Frevola said the initiative is about giving back and “providing access for kids to grow physically, mentally, and emotionally,” as cited in local coverage.
Why it matters locally
Youth sports can be pricey, and the kits knock out one of the most visible costs while keeping players in standard gear. The City of Las Vegas notes financial aid is available for qualifying families and that equipment is provided for players, making the league a lower‑barrier option for many households, according to the city’s youth‑sports page.
