What is the Making Waves Program?

The Making Waves Program is the largest multi-faceted, multi-media community outreach program by a professional sports team in the state. Last year the Milwaukee Wave soccer players went to more than 100 Wisconsin schools and spoke in front of approximately 23,000 students, teachers, administrators and family members.

Eat Right – Eating healthy is important for everyone, vital for athletes.

Play Right – Strong work ethic and teamwork impacts your life.
