Description

Soccer Kids of America is a national charity that teaches at-risk children life skills such as:

*Respect

*Diversity

*Sportsmanship

*Integrity

*Teamwork

*Perseverance

. . .all through the game of soccer.

Soccer Kids of America delivers their program at high at-risk Elementary Schools around the US. This character development program is offered after school, one hour per week for seven weeks. Each week the children learn a new soccer skill such as dribbling, passing, shooting, throw-ins, corner kicks, and goal kicks and they are taught one life skill. Children will be given a token each week if they demonstrate the life skill they learned that week. At the end of the lessons, they graduate the program if they have at least five tokens and will receive their own soccer ball, and graduation certificate.
