| | | As Pride Month comes to a close, the work of building a more inclusive game continues. Melanie Bradley is helping lead that work forward — creating space, breaking barriers, and expanding access to soccer so more individuals can enter the game, grow within it, and feel a true sense of belonging. Whether it’s championing programs that reduce barriers to entry, strengthening community impact, or advocating for policies that foster belonging, her approach reflects a simple but powerful belief: Everyone deserves the opportunity to be part of the game. Because when we lead with inclusion, we don’t just grow the sport — we strengthen the communities around it. Read Mel’s full story here. |
