This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
One of the chronic problems in the inner city is poor health -- poor diet, lack of exercise, etc. Our program aims to give urban school children the opportunity to improve their overall health while, at the same time, to build leadership and teamwork skills. The program will meet at least twice a month, and will service 40-60 youth. These students will be selected based upon successful classroom performance and a willingness to participate and work with their classmates and peers.
Two adult supervisors/teachers will instruct each lesson. Each session will last approximately two hours; students will spend the first hour learning the skills and strategies of soccer, and the second hour playing a live game. The instructors will have experience in both playing and coaching the sport.
