Brandi Mitchell is one of the greatest soccer connectors for recreational women players in the country. Working under the cause “San Diego Soccer Women,” she’s become a go-to resource in southern California and beyond—helping organize teams, fill tournaments, and manage playing schedules. Her work spans way past a single league or one annual event, coordinating opportunities to play for thousands of women for over a decade, and advocating for women’s recreational soccer for ages 30 all the way through 80 and older. 

“I realized that if it was that hard for me to find out about this world, and I was already going to games, then all these other women may have the same situation. And if they didn’t have a friend prompting them saying, ‘Hey, there’s women’s recreational soccer here,’ then maybe they don’t know about it.”

That’s what inspired Brandi to act and contribute to making soccer more accessible to women of all ages. It’s a mission that’s taken her all over the country and around the world, but for this occasion, we decided to meet Brandi in San Diego, her home. And what better place than at one of her regular pickup games with women 30, 40, 50, 60, and 70+. All just as passionate as Brandi about playing the beautiful game and sharing it with as many people as possible.
