Now supporting families in Burien, White Center, West Seattle and south King County
One child.
One season.
A lasting difference.A simple model
A small barrier can stand between a child and the game.
Pay-to-play has made even basic participation unaffordable for some families. We focus modest amounts of money where they can unlock an entire season of belonging, confidence, and play.
We make it simple
A short application and quick review keep administration low and decisions close to the community.
Funding goes to the game
We pay targeted support directly toward registration fees, kit, and the practical costs of getting on the pitch.

Why Glad All Over
Built from a lifelong love of soccer — and a belief that it should belong to everyone.
Richard Hurring is a lifelong soccer fan, both as a player and a supporter. After building businesses and coaching young people, Richard founded Glad All Over to give back to soccer and make the sport more accessible in his local community.
“The idea is simple: find the child who wants to play, remove the barrier, and get them onto the pitch.”
