Making an Impact in Pittsburgh
Our goal is to give glory to God by providing high quality soccer training in a fun environment that promotes player and team excellence in the game and in life.
We reach hundreds of local kids from over 22 countries yearly through our community programs, club teams, and camps.
Our History
In 1999 Youth Enjoying Soccer Athletic Club (YESAC) was formed to share the love of Christ and the game of soccer to urban communities in Pittsburgh. Our original partnership with the Pittsburgh Youth Network allowed us to share our vision and start our first programs in the Hill District and on the North Side.
With continued growth and expansion in 2005, YESAC decided to merge with Ambassadors In Sport (AIS) International and become AIS Pittsburgh. This merger helped to expand our local programs and enabled us to become part of an international soccer ministry.
In 2013, we became Ambassadors Football Pittsburgh under the re-branding that was done to unify all of the global ministries of Ambassadors. Since our merger, and with the vision of Lenny II, we now reach hundreds of local kids from over twenty countries yearly through our community programs, club teams, and summer camps.

Lenny II Rising Stars Scholarship
A Legacy of Loving God and People Through the Game of Football
The Lenny II Rising Stars Scholarship was established in honor of Lenny Muckle II, a missionary with Ambassadors Football who passed away at age 32 in 2015.
Lenny was a caring individual who was passionate about sharing his faith in Jesus Christ with kids through the beautiful game of football leaving behind a legacy of love and service. This scholarship seeks to continue that legacy by supporting inner-city children who participate in Ambassadors Football Pittsburgh, a ministry dedicated to sharing the good news of Jesus through football.
By financially partnering with the Lenny II Rising Stars Scholarship, you will help ensure that children can continue to play the sport they love while being immersed in a nurturing environment where they are encouraged to grow both on and off the field.
Coaches not only teach of God’s love but also guide children in learning critical life skills like discipline, leadership, respect, perseverance, and teamwork. The scholarship helps cover vital program expenses such as transportation, equipment, league/tournament fees, and healthy meals, ensuring accessibility for all participants.
Through this initiative, Lenny’s memory lives on, reflecting his passion for inspiring young lives and his unwavering commitment to faith, football, and the future of children.
