As we wait for good news (🤞) from City leadersh

As we wait for good news (🤞) from City leadership regarding the use/permitting of outdoor play space for our kids & families, we continue to look out for each other in other ways. Our friends at St. Vincent’s step up and help, every holiday, and the recent Easter holiday was no different. We continue to be inspired by the power of sports to bring people together. Here’s another off-the-field & court example of that connection. Our friends 📷with some of our #BeyondVolley players! 🏐⚽️🧡💙

#SaturdayShare - Today would've kicked off another

#SaturdayShare - Today would've kicked off another important Lawrence Youth Travel Soccer season. Unfortunately, as our friends & family know, we're still sidelined, waiting, and the only Essex County community not playing. We know we could've provided a safe environment w/all the protocols (& more!) in place so kids wouldn't miss these crucial healthy connections. We didn't get that chance, but we're still fighting to get some form of play going this spring. Kids need to move. Kids need to run. Kids need their friends and teammates. Kids need their high-fives, even if those are "air" high fives to start! Kids need supportive adults who will ensure their continued connection to safe sports!

Good luck to our soccer friends and programs and the thousands of young people they're ensuring have a great day on fields today all over the state. We'll see you soon! Keep signing the petition! http://www.change.org/bringbacksafesports #BeyondSoccer #BeyondVolley #BringBackSafeSports

#MentorMonday - We love that our Coach Mentors (even without in-person #play) find ways to go beyond for their players, past and present. Here are Coach Mentors, Will and Adam catching Noe’s championship game for an impressive team out of East Boston, which won b/t/w! Ps, Noe is an exceptional player and #studentathlete, with an exceptionally caring and committed family. Coaches too! He plays for the Pingree School and this club, after being a long-time Lawrence Youth Travel Player. His younger sisters are also part of the Beyond Soccer family! We can't wait to get back onto the fields and courts in Lawrence to build more sports connections like these that stand the test of time. #LawrenceMA #BeyondSoccer #BeyondVolley #SportsMatter #BringBackSafeSports

If you want a feel-good #SundayShare, here it is!

If you want a feel-good #SundayShare, here it is! The @greaterlawrencetech soccer program, led by Thomas Ringler (also a Beyond Soccer friend, coach, & @mayouthsoccer Board Member), supported by its athletic director, but most importantly embraced by the girls & boys players, has been able to turn a challenging situation into a positive, never forget experience for competition, connection, and camaraderie!

"I was iffy before we started. I was nervous (re playing w/the boys). All of the girls were nervous," said Kaylie Ortiz, a senior. "I thought they'd judge us, that we weren't as strong or fast. But it was the opposite. They were kind. They were open-minded and played with us. They never judged us."

It's great to see a handful of Beyond Soccer players involved in this, including Kaylie (above & pictured here), who also received a Captain nod from Coach Ringler. What a never-forget opportunity, especially for seniors like Kaylie and Brianna Candelario, as well as for boys like Izayah Perez, another standout player, who we've had the privilege of knowing and supporting! Kudos, GLTS coaches & leaders! We all have to think a bit outside the box these days. It's inspiring! The goals and wins will come. #BeyondSoccer #BeyondVolley #SportsMatter

#FlashbackFriday - We miss being in person with our friends from all over the country at @ussoccerfoundation Urban Soccer Symposium. A highlight was starting to bring our coach mentors along for the learning and fun, like Coach Will and Cesar, who also got to tour the capital for the first time in March 2019! U.S. Soccer is still providing meaningful learning this year. Since Wednesday, we’ve enjoyed dozens of remote presentations, including ways to collaborate to make SBYD better, creating more inclusive, healthy programs and spaces, and recognizing #rockstar women improving sports equity around the globe! We also learned about our friends @southbronxunited, who, through collective action, got their city to reverse a ban on field permits for youth sports last fall! Kids have been benefiting safely since. That’s some extra inspiration! #Symposium21 #SportsCollaboration

#TOPSoccerThursday -Several coaches are running to support #TOPSoccer this week for a #TOPSoccer5K fundraising event w/the #NERevs!! I ran with my sidekick Ace as a @mayouthsoccer Board Member and to raise awareness about this important community program for children with disabilities in the region. It has extra special meaning to us as we’re working with the @mvymca to bring a #TOPSoccer to this area. It's always been a goal, and it was sadly sidetracked due to COVID-19 last spring. With the YMCA, we will launch an incredibly inclusive, quality program for all athletes with intellectual, emotional, and or physical disabilities, ages 4-19 this July. We're working with our friends at the @specialolympicsma too! There's still time to register and run before March 28th, like #ForestFoundation Intern/staffer extraordinaire Sadie, who is also helping us organize this program. www.mayouthsoccer.org/mysa-strong/ #TogetherIsBetter #Sports #Equity #Inclusion #SportsMatter #LawrenceMA

Happy St. Patrick's Day 🍀 & Happy 10th Bday Bey

Happy St. Patrick's Day 🍀 & Happy 10th Bday Beyond Soccer! ⚽🏐🍀💙🧡

Long Post Alert❗Yes, we turn 10 years old TODAY! Although we've had roots in Lawrence since 2006, when my early mentor Howard of @ydolawrence introduced me to so many awesome kids & families, we didn't make Beyond Soccer official until March 2011.

This past decade (plus) has been filled with so much connection, action, programming, friendship, problem-solving, and celebration. So many compassionate people have happily given their time and talents to advance our mission, using soccer to improve kids' lives, like our dear soccer angel, Eric Lundquist who was our steady, calming rock during our early Lawrence Youth Travel launch. My mom, Ellen Worrall, who coached the 1st Lawrence girls teams with me, the Wolves, and continues to volunteer today as registrar, helped me navigate this new sports landscape. The imbalances related to sports access, resources, pathways, and opportunities were realized quickly, compared to where I grew up in Boxford and many other suburbs like it. However, the constant common denominator was the kids' enthusiasm and quick devotion to the game. They loved being part of a team, traveling to new places, developing their skills, and gaining an extended family.

This year has disrupted some of our progress, but we're optimistic about the decade ahead, including moving forward with our new #BeyondVolley family, together with lots of other sports friends committed to collective action to be better for our kids and our community! We also have the "luck of the Irish" 🍀 on our sides with a St. Patrick's Day nonprofit status designation day! Thank you for being part of this journey. We're grateful. -Stephanie McArdle

#WeGotThisWednesday - Yes, it’s Alondra again! She did us a big favor last week. She provided 1.5 hours of live written translation during a We Coach “Sports Can Heal” training sponsored by the Lawrence Sports Alliance for many incredible Lawrence sports leaders! We think this @newbalance gift cert is a proper way to express our thanks, don’t you? Here’s Alondra with Coach Leti in the “Beyond” office, which is starting to get a little busier, and with lots more BV pics too! #BeyondVolley #BeyondSoccer #SportFamily #LawrenceSportsAlliance #LawrenceMA #TogetherIsBetter #SportsMatter @lawrencesportsleadacademy

#SaturdaySmiles -It’s been an encouraging week for sports in Lawrence. Here are Coach Marino & Leti, who we're sure you know--in addition to leading Beyond Volley--also coach the unbelievably talented #LHS girls varsity volleyball team. They’re taking the precautions super seriously with daily temp checks, masks, and more. They’re having a ball being back together in the gym. We can see their smiles! Can you?! 😊😷 Here’s to continuing #safe, #smart, #sports with lots of #smiles! #BeyondVolley #BeyondSoccer #SportsMatter #HealthyKids #HappyKids #YouthSports #HighSchoolSports 💙🧡🏐⚽

#SundaySmiles! You can just tell behind the mask!

#SundaySmiles! You can just tell behind the mask! This week the #BeyondVolley crew hosted a fun family drawing contest! Winners were picked, and those participants and siblings who put in the time & effort benefited from athletic gear like more New Balance sneakers, so they’re prepped and motivated to play when our return to play-day comes! It also provides smiles and connections. #SportsFamily 🧡⚽🏐💙

FunderFridayShoutout - What we do without our loyal friends and funders who continue to stick with us, through thick and thin, like this rough patch. We’re so humbled and grateful to have the @miahammfdn continue to support our work in Lawrence. Fingers crossed that this assistance means youth soccer & volleyball resumes this spring so this rec player (pictured here) can fall back in love with the game and never look back! This quote by trailblazing US Women’s Soccer icon, @mia_hamm_ is one that always resonates with and motives our leadership! #TogetherIsBetter #GirlsInSports #BeyondSoccer #BeyondVolley #FeelingInspired

On this Valentine’s Day #SundayShare, we’re sending love to our community and the importance of shopping local and supporting one another as we come back from Covid-19. Here are some #Beyond staff members, Marino, Leti Sadie, and Will, with Board Member, Wendy Luzon at this beautiful new fruit store & deli, Casabe, in downtown Lawrence. I think a few yummy local, fresh, organic goodies were purchased for loved ones on this special day for recognizing and appreciating others. #ShopLocal #LawrenceMA #BeyondSoccer #BeyondVolley #SportsFamily #love 🧡💙⚽🏐

#WeGotThisWednesday- With partners and friends like @aztecsoccerma & @skillzcheck_soccer we know we can bounce back! Here are two Wolverines players at last Saturday’s Winter Skillz clinic in Danvers, made possible by our friends' generosity. Having access to safe, small group opportunities to get our youth playing and moving again with others after almost one year is an incredibly positive and motivating bright light! #PartnershipsMatter #YouthSports #HappyKids #HealthyKids

Here’s some #MondayMotivation to stay active at home! A few more players who won the report card challenge, received @dribbleup soccer balls to keep up with their skills at home, especially on these cold ❄ New England Days. So far, the feedback from other benefiting players has been really positive. It combines soccer, electronics, tracks progress, sets goals and includes friendly challenges! #BeyondSoccer #BeyondVolley #YouthSports #HealthyKids #HappyKids #ActiveKids #LawrenceMA #KeepPlaying #KeepMoving🧡💙⚽🏐

#SaturdayShare - Because we recognize how difficult it is to show up, follow up and participate this winter when those experiences still aren’t in-person after 11 months, the #Beyond team decided to allocate some of your generosity to rewarding players for showing up, being responsible, and partaking! Here are a few players with their new @newbalance sneakers who handed in report cards and participated in #GirlsFest. Coach Marino & Coach Leti had some fun making safe in-person deliveries, and sharing encouraging words. The significance of those exchanges is beyond words. More photos to share this week of our resilient student-athletes.

#WeGotThis! It's National Girls and Women in Sport

#WeGotThis! It's National Girls and Women in Sports Day, and although we celebrate and support girls’ strength and resilience every day, it's important to pause, cheer & reflect. We’ve made progress, but we’ve got more work ahead, especially due to the pandemic sidelining so many, to ensure girls reap sports’ on and off the field & court benefits! Today, partner, @womenssportsfoundation is hosting a #GirlsFest, and we’re encouraging our girls to listen, contribute and share with their teammates. ⚽🏐💙🧡 Participating girls will be raffled to win New Balance sneakers (their choice) to help them reach their sports & fitness goals. If you’re a female in our program, tune in, message one of the coaches on the flyer, and you’ll be in! #NGWSD #LeadHerForward #BeyondSoccer #BeyondVolley https://www.womenssportsfoundation.org/get-involved/ngwsd/2021-girls-fest/

For some #MondayMotivation here’s some sharing by Beyond Volley player & #LHS "setter,” Diaraliz Brito, who, 4 years ago as a 7th grader reminded us when she first started with Coach Leti (then Merrimackvolley), “I’m not going to lie, it was hard, but no sport or responsibility comes easy!” Also if she was coach for a day, she’d say, “stay strong, and if you can’t play sports right now, pick up a hobby to pass by time, as well as do simple exercises to help when you can play!” We agree, and we’re hopeful too for some in-person safe play in March & April so Diaraliz who was also elected captain of her freshman team gets to return to the court, doing what she loves and has worked hard for! More about her in the #BeyondVolley #MonthlySpike!! #BeyondSoccer #YouthSports #HighSchoolSports #HealthyKids #HappyKids

#TeamworkTuesday - As players share their report cards with their #CoachMentors this offseason, their name goes into a drawing for a #DribbleUp ⚽. So far, players who have the ball 🧡 it. They enjoy tracking their progress. We also notice that anything connected to technology 📱 is a #winwin. Parents can also monitor engagement (daily school checks ☑️, daily fitness checks ☑️, daily soccer skill work ☑️). It’s super important for kids to keep moving. We look forward to sharing pictures of the prize distributions this week. Volleyball prizes coming soon too! #BeyondSoccer #BeyondVolley #HealthyKids #HappyKids #StudentAthletes #YouthSports

#SundaySuccess -We did it! Thanks to your generosity, we surpassed our $30,000 year-end fundraising goal for the very first time. Our #PlayItForward for sports campaign, which officially ended Friday at $33,000+, will help us safely return to in-person play w/more opportunities to connect, move, run, laugh, & learn when we do, like the rec soccer & volleyball players (before our ⚽ + 🏐 merger) pictured here from 2019. Thanks again for #PlayingItForward. It will continue to be a #teameffort in 2021, with incredible work ahead in a community hard hit by Covid-19. With this kindness and care, we’re off to an encouraging start! #FeelingGrateful #FeelingMotivated #BeyondSoccer #BeyondVolley #LawrenceMA🧡💙🏐⚽

#WeGotThisWednesday--Let’s stay positive, that s

#WeGotThisWednesday--Let’s stay positive, that safe play will happen. We're learning that young people have played sports 6+ hrs LESS per week since Covid-19! This April will mark 1.5 years since our travel teams competed. Sigh. We must come together to find creative, safe solutions to support play in Lawrence. Our kids need to move. They need their coaches, and they need their teammates. Safe, in-person engagement can happen. Kids’ physical and mental health depends on it.

W/a group of committed sports partners through @lawrencesportsleadacademy (#TY, friends!), we’re confident we can establish a safe return plan w/City leadership, so kids don’t miss those critical 6 hrs--all sports! So, mark your calendars. We have a pre-reg form available for travel & rec soccer (kids in PreK – 12th grade). When we get the green light, we want to be ready, and we want you to be entirely in the loop! Having lead partner, New Balance support our teams is also a #gamechanger! #WhenTheresAWillTheresAWay

Thanks again for #PlayingItForward. It will continue to be a #teameffort in 2021, with incredible work ahead in a community hard hit by Covid-19. With this kindness and care, we’re off to an encouraging start! #FeelingGrateful #FeelingMotivated #BeyondSoccer #BeyondVolley #LawrenceMA🧡💙🏐⚽

#WeGotThisWednesday--Let’s stay positive, that safe play will happen. We're learning that young people have played sports 6+ hrs LESS per week since Covid-19! This April will mark 1.5 years since our travel teams competed. Sigh. We must come together to find creative, safe solutions to support play in Lawrence. Our kids need to move. They need their coaches, and they need their teammates. Safe, in-person engagement can happen. Kids’ physical and mental health depends on it.

W/a group of committed sports partners through @lawrencesportsleadacademy (#TY, friends!), we’re confident we can establish a safe return plan w/City leadership, so kids don’t miss those critical 6 hrs--all sports! So, mark your calendars. We have a pre-reg form available for travel & rec soccer (kids in PreK – 12th grade). When we get the green light, we want to be ready, and we want you to be entirely in the loop! Having lead partner, New Balance support our teams is also a #gamechanger! #WhenTheresAWillTheresAWay
