Their program is specifically designed to meet the needs of children aged 4-18 with physical and/or cognitive disabilities. The program is geared toward athlete development rather than competition. They currently offer soccer. Their staff consists of soccer coaches (former soccer professionals, current soccer coaches and other types of coaches) who will educate the athlete about soccer. There will be adult volunteers who either work specifically with the special needs population (OT, PT, ST, Special Education Teachers and Paraprofessionals) or other parents of special need children, all who receive training on how to interact with different disabilities. Parents are be able to sit in the stands and enjoy the game. The athlete will also be assigned a soccer “buddy” if requested by the parent or at the discretion of the special needs staff. This will be a student volunteer whose only job will be to work with the athlete on the field under the direction of the coaching staff and the Special Education staff, again so that the parent can enjoy the game.
