In-Class Program
In a physical education classroom setting that facilitates interaction, the In-Class Program pairs soccer education with topics such as fitness, nutrition, and social awareness for a rounded educational experience. In meeting the basic fitness and health Essential Academic Learning Requirements (EALRs), the In-Class program engages students in discussions on health around an easily relatable and fun topic: soccer!
After-School Program
The After-School Program is a soccer specific, short-term after-school program where students are exposed to the basic skills of soccer such as passing, dribbling and shooting. This program focuses on kids having fun and exercising through playing the game of soccer and is held on school grounds, eliminating the need for transportation to participate. This program is generally once a week for four weeks or as determined between the school and the youth soccer club.
