“Soccer was an amazing experience for my child! In just 6 short weeks I watched her grow in both confidence and skill. The staff work so hard to keep the kids engaged, and to help them learn to work together as a team. The kids came in with various levels of commitment and interest, and by the last session, every child was finding their own form of success and joy in the process, and cheering each other on. My older child participated in this program years ago, and I couldn’t wait until my youngest was old enough to have her chance. I recommend this program to any parent looking for a safe and supportive environment for their child to build confidence, practice social engagement, and learn new skills!!”
