Free Drop In Soccer Clinics for Kids with ADHD and Asperger's Syndrome

Join us on Saturday September 15th for the first Orion School free drop-in Soccer Clinic of the season!

The Orion School sponsors free drop-in Soccer Clinics for all children ages 5-14 with neurobehavioral conditions including ADHD, Asperger’s Syndrome, and anxiety related issues. The goal is to provide a successful low stress alternative to traditional soccer leagues for both children and their families. This program offers the opportunity to build self confidence through participation in a recreational sport program. Children experience being part of a team, learning rules and practicing sport skills through engaging warm ups, drills and scrimmages. There is even an awards ceremony held at the end of each season!

The lead coach for the Soccer Clinic is Jacob Echevarria; Club Orion after school director. Jacob is a certified physical education teacher with a lifetime of experience and a passion for playing and coaching soccer and team sports. Adults are welcome to join in and help the coaches!
