The People's Game is a Durham youth soccer program offering half-day camps for children ages 6 to 12 during summer and school breaks, teacher workdays and track-outs. Days feature interactive warm-ups, rotating stations for dribbling, passing and shooting, plus snack and mindfulness time, guided by a values-based coaching model of respect, responsibility and trust. The program also runs after-school and small-group sessions at local elementary schools.

★★★★★Cassady TurreganoWe're so thankful for The People's Game. Our family doesn't know much about soccer but we joined the after school program and camp because we heard great things. All the good that everyone says is all true. I know many are in it for the soccer, but we are in it for the kindness, patience, and help to learn group play with mindfulness. Learning soccer is an added bonus!
★★★★★Sara PeñaFantastic camp option for track out, teacher workdays or traditional vacation! Coach was very responsive, caring & I appreciate the intentional atmosphere he & the coaches created about the purpose being to learn the joy of the game. My kid would identify more as an artist than an athlete, but she did this camp with her athlete-identifying friends & enjoyed this so much. All levels welcome. We will be back!
★★★★★Koren RobinsThe People's Game is absolutely a gift! If you have an active kid, this is the program for you. My elementary school child won't let me pick him up early! He has learned so many skills on and off the soccer field. There is no better feeling than knowing your kid is happy where they are. We couldn't be more grateful to the People's Game for bringing so much joy to our kiddo's life. Would give a hundred stars if I could!
★★★★★Windy Hill Play, Nonprofit ChildcareWe are so grateful for Kingsley and all the coaches at The People’s Game. We were looking for a soccer program that truly aligned with our values—connection, play, nature, and a village mindset—and this is it. We’re locked in. From day one, we’ve experienced open, collaborative communication and thoughtful planning, but nothing tops the authenticity of the coaches. They pour into our children and into us as parents, always greeting us by name and showing genuine care. The People’s Game is a shining example of what happens when a group of people with shared values and a shared mission come together. They are building more than a program—they’re building community.
★★★★★Lindsey Russ PelhamImagine trying to direct a group of 2-3 year olds around an obstacle course, teaching them a new game with specific directions, and purposefully instilling life skills on how to work together, share, take turns, and be responsible….all in one practice. I am continuously in awe of Coach Kingsley’s patience, preparedness, and overall genuine kindness towards children. Going to practice is the highlight of my 3 year old’s week. Not only has he grown in soccer skills and teamwork, but he comes home talking about responsibility and how he can be a good friend and teammate the next week. I can’t wait to continue our journey with The People’s Game!
