1. To enable the young and the youth who have talent in soccer explore their talent and become useful members of the society.
2. Through soccer, instill discipline in them by guiding and counseling them on moral uprightness and the dangers of drugs and substance abuse.
3. To mould the youth to be self reliant in future so as to be able to cope with the challenge of joblessness thus earn a living through sporting activities.
