#TeamworkTuesday - As players share their report c #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 generosi #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

We’re in the final stretch of our year-end #PlayItForward campaign and are blown away by your care, concern, giving & kindness. We're just $5,000 shy of our fundraising goal. This 🎥, created by our players, includes many of the voices & faces that generosity will support. It’s obvious that they’re missing in-person play. They’re missing their teammates, and they’re missing their coaches. Aspen Sports Institute shared that youth spent, on average, 6 hours less per week participating in sports since the onset of the pandemic. That’s way too many hours, and probably even more lopsided in inner-cities with higher COVID-19 rates. We have so much ground to make up, which means we need you! Our programs need to be better. They need to be more inclusive, and they need to impact more kids. Will you #PlayItForward for sports? The kids are asking 😃💙🧡⚽🏐 https://youtu.be/TZ89pRLXklA (Campaign link below 👇)

Volleyball was also starting to “dig” in at the space and our basketball friends too, like Sueño basketball. 🏐🏀 We will be back, and this share is a good reminder of the importance of space for sports programs to thrive.

#WeGotThisWednesday - We hear from so many of you #WeGotThisWednesday - We hear from so many of you that you can’t wait for sports’ return and that your child misses playing on fields (& courts) with their coaches & teammates. We’re doing whatever it takes to be back on fields on April 10th for our in-city rec league launch. We missed 2 entire Rec (sad face) seasons, typically engaging 500 kids, including 4 yr olds! This spring provides an opportunity to relaunch w/more coaches, more resources, & a new structure to make it a better experience for all. We owe it to the youth! All safety measures will be taken w/local health care officials. You can reserve your child’s spot today.

#ThankfulThursday – Wishing our players, familie #ThankfulThursday – Wishing our players, families, and friends a safe and Happy Thanksgiving. 🦃🍁🍂⚽️🏐 #FeelingGrateful
“Gratitude turns what we have into enough.” – M. Beattie On this #SundayShare, we’re sharing our gratitude to our Tri-Town community friends from St. Vincent's, who without-fail, donate dozens of Thanksgiving meals to distribute to our players & families during this holiday season. This year, #BeyondVolley Director & Asst Director @merrimackvolley08 & Leti Valdez did the special pickup honors and then, in their “beyond” family style, provided in-person, safe, door to door delivery all over the community. The connections and smiles (we can see them through their eyes) that’s the result of this kindness is remarkable. A special thank you to Patrick Yanchus, who has not only been a volunteer tutor but is the one who makes sure #BeyondSoccer & #BeyondVolley are always part of this generosity. #TogetherIsBetter #GivingThanks #LawrenceMA 💙🧡
#WeGotThisWednesday! Ayesha has been a consistent, #WeGotThisWednesday! Ayesha has been a consistent, enthusiastic Beyond Soccer player who's always looking to better herself, on & off the field. Like her former teammate, Welmerly (highlighted last week), she’s also participating in the 7-week @lawrencesportsleadacademy Sports Psychology & Leadership Dev Program. Below is some powerful, insightful feedback, Ayesha. "After Monday night I felt understood. I didn’t feel alone. We all had our own goals to achieve and the fact that more people have the same problems and goals as me, made me want to work harder to reach them. It was as if I was finally taking a breath of air after being underwater for so long." Ayesha, who attended the Lawrence Parthum School is now a sophomore @ Andover H.S. She played on its freshman team and this fall serves on its COVID-19 Support Club and Key Club. She’s now more determined to make JV or Varsity in 2021, and these goal setting opportunities, with athletes from other city sports groups is helping, including her goal to get more fit this winter! We’ll be sponsoring a Lawrence Youth Soccer H.S. team next spring (and more fitness too) so that should help Ayesha! #BeyondSoccer #BeyondVolley #StudentAthletes #YouthSports #TogetherIsBetter #HWPO
#FunderFriday shoutout to our long-time friends @s #FunderFriday shoutout to our long-time friends @shopuslast who’ve been part of our journey since the very beginning. This partnership includes sponsorship through Chevy Youth Sports & Commonwealth Chevrolet. Over the years, we’ve been able to depend on-and grow--their annual support, so thousands of kids can access important rec and travel league experiences. Summer camps too! Did you know that Chevy Youth Sports has empowered 15.2M kids through the power of play, through programs like ours! Wow! The fact that they continue to invest, together w/many other partners during this timeout from sports means they recognize how important sports and recreation will be for kids when we do come back. #BeyondSoccer #BeyondVolley #SportsMatter #YouthSports #PartnershipsMatter #CommonwealthMotors #LawrenceMA
#TalentedTuesday - We’re highlighting long-time #TalentedTuesday - We’re highlighting long-time #BeyondSoccer player & current @misshallsschool 9th grader, Welmerly, who represents our program in the new Performance Psychology & Leadership Development Program that's part of an important collective sports effort for student-athletes from Lawrence. “I’m learning new ideas, points of view, and advice from others that I could use to help improve mentally through sports & school. One question that stuck with me from the last meeting was, “Where do you want to be, and where are you headed?” This ? allows me to be aware of what’s going on in my life & how I can improve and work towards my goals.” - Wel She’s applying these learnings & experiences @ Miss Hall, where she’s boarded during the pandemic. “COVID-19 changed most of my experience, almost entirely, but it hasn’t stopped me from having a wonderful time.” That includes being a 9th-grade soccer captain 👏 and a part of the Social Committee team, coming up w/wknd activities for boarders, day & online-students, to help them connect and feel more comfortable in the MHS community. Wow! Like soccer play, social committee, and LSLC’s leadership program, all of these connections have & will continue to provide Wel w/even more tools to succeed in school, sports & life. We’re proud of you, Wel! #StudentAthletes #GirlsInSports #BeyondVolley @lawrencesportsleadacademy

#TalentedTuesday -These are the types of positive #TalentedTuesday -These are the types of positive headlines we like to read & celebrate! We know, we know this Eagle Trib article is about a Haverhill Hillie. Still, this Hillie is part of our #BeyondVolley family w/mom, Leti Valdez, & grandfather, Marino, leading Lawrence's girls' volleyball efforts (f/k/a Merrimackvolley), including the dominating LHS Varsity Team, which sadly cannot play due to COVID. "Mia has some strong volleyball skills. It's obvious that Mia has been playing volleyball for a while.”-Coach Pettis Yes, she has. The Valdez family has obvious volleyball talent and passion, including Marino Valdez professional play and coaching experience in the Dominican Republic. We’re excited to follow Mai’s career and look forward to her mentoring younger players in the #BeyondVolley program, like her big sis, Lismari, another high school standout. #FamilyTalent #TalentedTuesday #BeyondSoccer https://www.eagletribune.com/sports/local_sports/ferrer-valdez-adapts-brings-extensive-volleyball-background-to-hillies/article_e3510979-2213-5ec4-a247-809ffde5ea67.html
We’re missing our #SoccerSaturdays & were remind We’re missing our #SoccerSaturdays & were reminded by #CoachMentor, Dominic just how much fun we have together. Dom shared these Halloween ⚽️🎃 pics in our group chat from last fall’s Rec Program. It immediately brought us back to the wonderful memories we make together on fields all over the city. When kids & coaches get into costume, it's even better! As you can see, we have lots of “great sports." Unfortunately, Covid has interrupted our ability to be together like this, so we’re missing the fun more than ever. A quick reminder that the date of Spring 2021 Rec is April 10, 2021, and it might even be hosted on a new state of the art, turf field on top of Riverwalk Properties’ parking garage – 🤞) Families can reserve their spots! We will be back, and we will be better for our community. You can count on us! #BeyondSoccer #BeyondVolley #YouthSports #HappyKids #HealthyKids #HappyHalloween

We know, we know this Eagle Trib article is about a Haverhill Hillie. Still, this Hillie is part of our #BeyondVolley family w/mom, Leti Valdez, & grandfather, Marino, leading Lawrence's girls' volleyball efforts (f/k/a Merrimackvolley), including the dominating LHS Varsity Team, which sadly cannot play due to COVID. "Mia has some strong volleyball skills. It's obvious that Mia has been playing volleyball for a while.”-Coach Pettis Yes, she has. The Valdez family has obvious volleyball talent and passion, including Marino Valdez professional play and coaching experience in the Dominican Republic. We’re excited to follow Mai’s career and look forward to her mentoring younger players in the #BeyondVolley program, like her big sis, Lismari, another high school standout. #FamilyTalent #TalentedTuesday #BeyondSoccer https://www.eagletribune.com/sports/local_sports/ferrer-valdez-adapts-brings-extensive-volleyball-background-to-hillies/article_e3510979-2213-5ec4-a247-809ffde5ea67.html
We’re missing our #SoccerSaturdays & were remind We’re missing our #SoccerSaturdays & were reminded by #CoachMentor, Dominic just how much fun we have together. Dom shared these Halloween ⚽️🎃 pics in our group chat from last fall’s Rec Program. It immediately brought us back to the wonderful memories we make together on fields all over the city. When kids & coaches get into costume, it's even better! As you can see, we have lots of “great sports." Unfortunately, Covid has interrupted our ability to be together like this, so we’re missing the fun more than ever. A quick reminder that the date of Spring 2021 Rec is April 10, 2021, and it might even be hosted on a new state of the art, turf field on top of Riverwalk Properties’ parking garage – 🤞) Families can reserve their spots! We will be back, and we will be better for our community. You can count on us! #BeyondSoccer #BeyondVolley #YouthSports #HappyKids #HealthyKids #HappyHalloween
