In today's episode, I speak with one of the Tiny Soccer Troops founders, Amy Schweizer. She shares her soccer experiences growing up and then how becoming part of a military family had an impact on her love of the game and how she was able to stay involved in soccer.

In 2014, founder Amy Schweizer was living in Okinawa, Japan and finding it difficult to find activities for children under 5 years old. Combining her love of soccer with her passion for military spouses, Amy’s vision to create an experience for the under 5 crowd became a reality and eventually became Tiny Troops Soccer, with locations throughout the United States. Tiny Troops is an introduction to the world of soccer for children ages 2-4 and is run by military spouses and parents, giving military spouses the opportunity to work as well as providing a fun activity for toddlers and their friends. More importantly, it’s focused on giving young children the opportunity to form lifelong friendships and creating a community for military parents and their kids. To date, Tiny Troops has served over 20,000 military children and their friends as well as provided employment for over 500 military spouses and dependents. Now, that’s what we call a win-win!
