THIS PROGRAM WILL START IN THE SPRING OF 2024
AllStar is an inclusive program open to individuals ages 3-21 with special needs. The program offers a modified version of the game of soccer designed to provide a fun, relaxed, and active environment for children with special needs to participate with the help of a “Buddy.”
Buddies are volunteers who pair up with an athlete to support, encourage, and assist them throughout our season.
Buddy Requirements:
Middle school, high school or above aged individuals, and/or a sibling to someone with a disability
We do also accept mature younger buddies
Works well with children
No soccer experience needed

What Parents Can Expect:
