The Return of After-School Soccer
Throughout the earlier months of the pandemic, we found creative ways to engage children at home and in carefully constructed events, like our new Goals in Gardens initiative. This fall, we’ve been overjoyed to return to fully in-person soccer after school at five locations, and are back to serving 250 children each week. Read about the magical end to our fall season here.
From the start of the new school year, educators have had their hands full helping children readjust to routines. We are fortunate to work with some of the best in the business. We offer a huge thank you to all of the Site Directors, Coach-Mentors, and others who have helped make after-school soccer possible and successful:
Our team includes Andrea Closurdo, Chris Shavers, Crystal Brooks, Cyprus Morris, Denise Mosley, Edna Tribbett, Emma Reilly, Gaby Concepcion, Giana DiGiacomo, Jenna Waldron, Jimmy Pavlovsky, Jody Zamonski, John Hurst, Kaitlyn Decker, Kathy McGovern, Kelly Nagle, Leo-Paul Wahl, Leslie Crudup, Matt Effinger, Megan Dougherty, Michael Bofinger, Oliver Steinglass, Sara Long, Shannon Hollar, Tamia Cottman, Tara Orlando, Tiaira Jackson Butler, Tina L. Jackson, Titus Robinson, Valerie Weber, Vinny Cserscevits and Yolanda Jackson.
Recently, one of our Coach-Mentors wrote a story about his experience with us, both what he has been able to give to our program and the emotional rewards he has been able to get in return. Click here to read his story!
