If you’ve ever wondered where the great players in the game came from, you may be surprised to learn that many of the world’s best coaches share the same answer: the streets. Rinus Michels, FIFA’s coach of the century and the architect of "Total Football" said "My position is: street soccer is the most natural educational system that can be found…In Africa and South American countries, where the conditions for street soccer are favorable, you can immediately notice that youth players have a head start."

But how do we create the environment for street soccer in today’s culture? Luckily, we have an answer.   Burke AC is committed to an ongoing street soccer system.  We call it the BAC Festival.
