Our Voices & Impact

“The program pushed my daughter to be more active, increased her soccer skills and encouraged her to come out of her shell through team-building exercises.” ~ Beyond Soccer parent

“It was a great experience to be a part of the Beyond Soccer family. It was a great chance to work together as a group throughout the summer! Making sure all the kids felt comfortable and safe. Being a coach mentor opened a lot of doors for me. I’ve also realized how kids look up to older people and admire us. I am so glad that I got to be a role model.” ~ Coach Mentor

“It made all the difference. Social interaction and being active is so essential to his emotional health. My child had been showing signs of depression until school reopened and sports were available to him.” ~ Beyond Soccer parent

“I love having this (Beyond Resilient Girls) program. It has given us improvement with the friendships we have with the team. It helps us see how we are not only amazing on the field but off the field as well. That gives us better affection for everybody including the coaches which gives us a better connection with the whole team.” ~ Grade 8 Player

“My kids have enjoyed being part of such a great organization for many years. They have made lots of friendships and gained many skills.” ~ Beyond Soccer parent

“Better health and better behavior because it’s about more than exercise it’s also about connection and discipline.” ~ Soccer parent
