Finding it difficult to make the time for your rec league soccer team? After watching the trailer for Street Soccer: New York, we have zero sympathy for you. The documentary, which is soliciting donations at Kickstarter, follows a group of 12 homeless New Yorkers as they prepare for the 2009 Street Soccer USA Cup. Street Soccer is an organization that provides a soccer league and facilities to the homeless in 20 cities in the U.S. Just watching members of the New York team talk about sleeping in abandoned buildings and then prepping for a soccer tournament has us reassessing our lame excuses for not suiting up. Check the trailer above.
