My Project

Establishing a coed soccer team holds tremendous potential to enhance our students' learning experiences. Our school is very diverse with one commonality: soccer.

Participating in soccer cultivates essential life skills beyond the classroom.

Team sports teach teamwork, collaboration, and communication, fostering qualities crucial for success in various aspects of life. By integrating soccer into our students' routines, we aim to instill lifelong habits of healthy living, develop responsibility, leadership, and resilience.

We aspire to nurture well-rounded individuals who are socially adept, physically fit, and culturally aware.

We need soccer balls, pop up goals with nets, gloves, shin guards and more soccer items to establish a coed soccer team that will enrich our students' learning experiences. Through teamwork, physical activity, and inclusivity, we aim to empower our students to thrive academically, socially, and personally.
