Who are the kids?
Most children have never played soccer and some come back every season - so there's a variety of levels.
This is a neighborhood with limited healthy options - to eat or get physically fit. So, you'll play a role in not only building teamwork, but empowering youth and families to get active.
Have fun, play ball, make a difference.
Attn, Students! Yes, we give community service credits. Recommendation letters given.
Our program started in 2009 just to get kids active. Now, we want to expand a nascent league. Kids love it, but don't know the game so we need your help.
Can you play in a fundraising soccer game? Let us know.
MORE INFO:
No coaching experience needed. Just love of the game and able to collaborate with others. Of course, we'd love it if you have experience...
Practices are co-ed, and players range from 3 to 12 years old and are at beginner to intermediate level. If we have enough players, will create boys and girls only teams for ages 10 and up..
