Strive Soccer

In Summer 2017, Strive Soccer was awarded a contract by After School Matters to run a pilot program called "Soccer For The Future". The aim of the program was to train teens ages 14-18 to become youth soccer coaches and referees. This Summer, we have nearly 30 teens and 2 instructors. Teens look eager to learn and instructors are very excited to transfer their knowledge. We are looking forward to another great Soccer Summer!

As our capstone project, we worked closely with IAMS (Inter-American Magnet School) principal Ms. Daniela Bylaitis to secure children ages 9-10 to participate in our final showcase. Teens and the instructor created age appropriate curriculum teaching children the fundamentals of soccer in a fun and safe yet not overly competitive environment. Ten teens were divided in five groups of two. Each group had a special assignment:

Group 1 (Anthony, Jose): Active Warmup and stretching - 15 minutes

Group 2 (Juan, Joel): Chain Game - 10 minutes

Group 3 (Evan, Abel, Chavez): Gates drill - 10 minutes

Group 4 (Joel, Matt, Kevin): Numbers drill - 15 minutes

Group 5 (Jose, Kevin): Scrimmage - 15 minutes.

All drills cover four corners of youth soccer development with emphasis on technical, physical, social and psychological outcomes.

Strive Soccer and its coaching staff was selected by After School Matters and city of Chicago to run a youth outreach Summer program "Soccer for the Future". The main goal of this program is to help teens ages 14-16 avoid peer pressure, keep them away from streets and introduce them to soccer, both coaching and refereeing, as a possible career choice. First day went great. Keep up the good work guys!
