6th Season for NASA’s Soccer Pride Program

NASA’s Pride program will run for its sixth season this Spring 2010 and we are looking forward to getting started.  Last season was a huge success and we know that this season will be just as exciting for all the participants.  A lot of fun was had by all so check out the photos on the NASA web-site (www.nasoccer.com).

NASA board members and NASA parents will partner with volunteer High School athletes and volunteer soccer players from our town travel program to continue to bring the fun sport of soccer to the special needs children in our area.  The program will focus on soccer activities and games that promote health and positive self-esteem.

The mission of this program is to bring the opportunity of learning and playing soccer to any boy or girl ages 6 to 14, who has Down Syndrome, Autism or Cerebral Palsy. The players will be taught the fundamentals of the game in a fun, structured and safe environment.

If you would like to know more about the program or would like to volunteer to assist, please contact Joe Cinseruli at joe.cinseruli@fmr.com.  If you would like to register a child for this program, go to the NASA web-site as www.nasoccer.com, click on ‘NASA Spring 2010 Registration’, then click on the link provided to take you to registration page and then select the current “Intown” program. You will see North Andover Pride listed as a registration option - if you do not see the registration on the link, please contact our Registrar at registrar@nasoccer.com to enrol.

As before, the program will run for 8 weeks at Reynolds field in North Andover and the schedule is as follows.  In the final week we will have a non-soccer get-together of some kind.  Details TBD.  All participants and volunteers for the Pride program will be notified of any changes to the schedule via email.  We will be in regular touch via email in the run up to the start of the season.
