Shining Soccer Stars
Students from New York City’s Public School District 75
soccer for all
Soccer Stars Foundation partners with community organizations and school districts to provide high-quality soccer programming to players with special needs through our Shining Soccer Stars program. These classes focus on teaching fundamental soccer skills while also using the sport as a tool to develop social and behavioral skills such as: self-regulation, task completion, teamwork, socialization, communication, and more.
We work with a developmentally appropriate curriculum designed by licensed educators and therapists that promotes the complete growth of each individual and encourages players to improve at their own pace. We use soccer to enhance peer interactions and provide a safe environment for players to increase social potential.
