In 1995, the sport of RollerSoccer, soccer on skates, was created on the streets of San Francisco by Zack Phillips, the original “SoccerHead.” His unique, yet recognizable personality has garnered international publicity for the sport in over 150 countries.
The most famous soccer player to have played RollerSoccer is Alexi Lalas, President and General Manager LA Galaxy. Alexi says, "I've had the opportunity to play RollerSoccer with these great athletes. It combines elements of two sports I love, soccer and hockey. I'm proud to say that I'm a RollerSoccer player and fan!"
As a summer camp activity, the RSIF has taught RollerSoccer Summer Camps at the Presidio YMCA. The RSIF has partnered with local Bay Area organizations and sponsors such as the Treasure Island YMCA, the Bay Area Women’s Initiative (BAWSI), and Sports Basement, in an effort to reach out to kids in our community to stay active, vibrant and healthy.
