Mission Statement: Hustle and Heart Set us apart!
Provide special needs children, ages 4 to 14, the environment to participate in an athletic team activity where the experience helps to stimulate their emotional and social growth.
Our program will focus on social interactions while learning to exercise regularly. Our trainer is a Special Education Teacher and was a College soccer player who can effectively identify the strengths and needs of different children, dealing with each individually, with a goal to bring new joy to their lives.
“Hustle and heart sets us apart” will be our philosophy and motto, helping to build confidence within all participating children.
