Darius Slay Jr. partnered with Coastal Outreach Soccer in 2016 to launch his social initiatives in the areas of physical fitness, education, and community service. In 2018, COS at The Big Play Center of Excellence, a 1500 square feet portable building, was opened. The Big Play Center of Excellence is a free after school and summer program for middle school and high school students. The Breakfast of Champions is Darius’s annual event to raise funds to support COS programs. Darius’s financial support and advocacy has enabled the COS program and service footprint to experience exponential growth.
The two-time FIFA Women’s Soccer World Cup Champion, Morgan Brian joined the COS family in 2015 when she made her first appearance at COS OUR TIME girls winter camp. The camp engages girls ages 8 to 18 in the areas of soccer, arts and crafts, culinary arts, and sewing. Morgan continues to support and encourage COS girls by providing soccer training, clothes, and opportunities to attend her soccer camps. After winning the 2019 FIFA World Cup, Morgan was the special guest at COS “Here Comes The Champ” fund raising event. Most recently Morgan participated in the national campaign with COS “Stay Active Challenge” to inspire youth to stay active during the pandemic.
