Success On The Spectrum (SOS) will be the official sponsor of the I-70 Rivalry Series between the St. Louis Ambush vs. the Kansas City Comets during the 2026–27 Major Arena Soccer League (MASL) season.
The two organizations work in very different corners of the community. The Ambush gives St. Louis fans a team to rally around. Success On The Spectrum helps children with autism build skills through individualized therapy. For Success on the Spectrum, the partnership is a chance to meet more local families and be part of something that brings people together.
Why Sports Bring People Together
A hometown team gives a community something to share. Families go to games, cheer for their favorite players, and show up at local events together, and those moments tend to stick.
Rivalry games add an extra spark. When St. Louis vs. Kansas City face off in the I-70 Rivalry Series, the crowd gets louder, and the whole city gets involved. Partnerships between teams and local organizations can also help those organizations reach new audiences and support causes that matter to the families nearby.
Why Community Support Matters
For a child with autism, taking part in community activities can build friendships, confidence, and everyday skills. But real inclusion starts with recognizing that every child has their own strengths, interests, and support needs.
Families do better in places that understand this and welcome their kids as they are. More awareness helps clear up misconceptions and makes schools, rec programs, and public spaces friendlier for everyone. Partnerships like this one can help by bringing organizations and families together around shared values.
How SOS Supports Children
At Success On The Spectrum, the goal is to help children build the skills they need to grow and become more independent. Programs are tailored to each child, and services include:
- ABA therapy to build communication, daily living, behavioral, and social skills
- Speech therapy to support language development and everyday communication
- Occupational therapy to help children take on daily activities with more independence
- Social skills programs to give kids a place to practice interacting and making connections
Every child’s goals and pace are different, so individualized support lets families focus on progress that fits their child’s abilities and priorities.
Looking Ahead
Success On The Spectrum is excited to join a St. Louis sporting tradition while continuing its work with children with autism and their families. As the I-70 Rivalry Series brings fans from both cities together, Success On The Spectrum looks forward to meeting people in the community and promoting awareness and inclusion.
