White Glove Soccer
This video sums up the mission of the White Glove Youth Foundation
As of August 2026, The White Glove Youth Foundation has scholarshipped over 230,000 Dollars in camps, tours, and training sessions for players in need!
This is made possible by our generous donors and sponsors and the commitment of time by the White Glove Staff.
The White Glove Youth Foundation (WGYF) is a non profit 501(c)3 corporation created to offer top level training and mentorship available for aspiring soccer players. WGYF Founder Pat Johnston has been involved in the US club soccer scene for the last five decades and has become a staunch advocate to significantly amend the current "pay for play" model that is prevalent throughout the country. Johnston started this endeavor as a gesture of goodwill in January of 2023 with GK's, and it quickly became obvious that they were not receiving sufficient guidance and proper instruction to make a valid attempt at realizing their ambition. The players and their families simply didn't know what they didn't know. And far too common are the entities charging the families for this knowledge and not delivering.
Due to Johnston's career as a college and professional player and coach, and all the game has done to enrich his life, he has made it his life's mission to provide mentorship to players to fulfill their potential.
He started the process of a formal foundation, the WGYF in October of 2023 and it became a legal entity Jan 1, 2024. As of December 2026, Johnston is attempting to pivot to a complete offering of the White Glove Soccer services through the WGYF. WGYF actively seeks like minded benefactors to assist in this endeavor.
Because of our commitment and generous donors, the White Glove Youth Foundation has been able to provide kids access to Europe for international tours, gain exposure to top level professional and college coaches via our camps, visit college campuses, receive individualized training, and more!
