A #TBT video from some in-school #TeambuildingTues

A #TBT video from some in-school #TeambuildingTuesday activities from earlier this week. We think these Arlington School 7&8th graders are having fun, don’t you? Some friendly competition, led by caring #CoachMentors, with some jumping jack consequences, can have lots of impact! It’s a good reminder that sometimes less is more! We’re back in the school this afternoon, running more fun futsal fitness. #play #connection #mentorship #healthykids #happykids #healthycommunities #schoolpartnerships #LawrenceMA ⚽️🧡💙

A #TBT post to Wednesday's #NGWS2023 day/post. It was an important day, so we’re sharing today!

"#WomenAndGirlsInSportsWednesday – It’s National Girls & Women in Sports Day, and we’re proud of our daily work advancing opps for girls-in-sports. This work’s impossible without our female #CoachMentors and #GirlsInSports partners, like @womenssportsfoundation who leads the charge, connecting groups like us to resources and advocating for more gender equity progress! These s remind us why this work is so important!

To celebrate, a few teams will play & share tonight with their female #CoachMentors, how & why sports have positively influenced their lives, and thanks to another key #GirlsInSports partner, #DreamBig! will receive equipment prizes!#TogetherIsBetter #TeamEffort #NGWS2023 #GirlsInSports #FemaleCoachMentors #NotDoneYet #BeyondSoccer🧡💙⚽️

#TriumphantTuesday - We feel the same way! It’s

#TriumphantTuesday - We feel the same way! It’s empowering to access a top-notch facility like this when we usually wouldn’t! Here’s one of the first players to arrive on the field from the Gr. 8 Strikerz squad for the start of last night’s training. It’s a dream come true for our mission work and the feelings are hard to describe. This player helps describe those feelings best. @riverwalkpavilion

A #SundayShare of Soccer Director Chris doing what he does best, #sharing his love & knowledge of the game over a busy weekend of #futsal play at the #YWCA! This 📷 is of Chris running the first hour-long session today with the 1st & 2nd-grade boys, but the 11th session of the weekend--with sessions still rolling! Go, Chris, Go #CoachMentors who help him, and Go #parents for bringing those kids! #teameffort #sharingloveofsports #youthsports #healthykids #happykids #happyfamilies #yearround #play #connection #mentorship #beyondsoccer ⚽️🧡💙

It’s a #FeelGoodFriday post now that we are back

It’s a #FeelGoodFriday post now that we are back in the schools, partnering up with our friends at the Arlington Middle School to bring sports to students where they are! Next week this effort will include an additional day so that in addition to these 40 7th & 8th graders, 5th & 6th graders will also get a day, and we will grow from there based on interest! There were also some familiar Beyond Soccer faces (current players) in the crowd who were used to help #CoachMentors Chris, Will, and Andrea with some of the drill and skill demonstrations. Overall, it was a great kickoff!

#TakeChargeTuesday - Who says you can’t play in

#TakeChargeTuesday - Who says you can’t play in the elements? ❄️⚽️ Grade 5 Bulldogs player Mia doesn’t think there has to be a day off from sports! We love that these are the types of 🎥's shared on the team What’s App pages. Keep these great highlights coming, keep #takingcharge Mia and practicing those foot skills... even in those snowshoes! Keep laughing, too😀! It's an inspiration to other players, #coachmentors, and staff! #yearroundplay #intheelements #youthsports #healthykids #happykids #beyondsoccer #LawrenceMA 🧡💙⚽️🏐

Here’s our #MondayMashup from another busy weeke

Here’s our #MondayMashup from another busy weekend of kids, coaches, and community connections! We’ve got the Gr. 3 & 4 boys players getting in some pre-game pushups on Saturday, a circle-up of another boys group with #CoachMentor Chando before anxiously hitting the court, some of the little ones waiting for instructions on Sunday afternoon, the Gr. 4 Jaguars players knocking the ball around, #CoachMentor, Daria in net during the Gr. 6 Bulldogs scrimmage, and Chris’ packed gym of 1st & 2nd graders doing a little dance celebration and quickly getting off the court, for #nextteamup! Thanks to all involved. #youthsports #healthykids #happykids #healthyfams #LawrenceMA ⚽️🏐🧡💙

And we’re off with another busy #SoccerSaturday

And we’re off with another busy #SoccerSaturday at our friends @ywcanema

The first hour-long session means play for the youngest crew, which, as you can see, means a lot of hard-to-capture 📸action! 🙂 Lots more play, movement, connection, coaching, and camaraderie all day today and tomorrow. #yearroundplay #youthsports #healthykids #happykids #coachmentors #LawrenceMA #BeyondSoccer ⚽️🏐🧡💙

A #ThoughtfulThursday share of the kind words by B

A #ThoughtfulThursday share of the kind words by Beyond Soccer mom, Lily, about her son, a terrific, long-time player who received a wonderfully deserved recognition. She also sent 📸s from over the years, bringing back many memories & reminding us that the #beyond stuff really matters. #TY It means so much.

“Aaden was named the Peter Lynch Scholar with Lawrence Catholic Academy. I would like to express my gratitude to Beyond Soccer. He wouldn't be named such an honor without the Coach Mentors, and tutoring assistance Beyond Soccer provided him over the years. I already thanked Coach Dominic and Coach Will personally. For a quiet, average-grade child, this is a big accomplishment. From the free week of summer camp with his teammates to birthday celebrations and team outings, the extra attention during the COVID lockdown...we will never forget. So, thank you and the mentors from Beyond Soccer.” – Lily #youthsports #happykids #healthykids #offthefield #longtermengagement #BeyondSoccer #BeyondFam⚽️🏐🧡💙

#TeamworkTuesday – Here’s a fun, fast-paced game that only requires cones! The “cone flip” objective is to have as many cones flipped in favor of your team, whether upside down or right side up. It’s a great competition that gets kids moving and helps with agility, coordination, and focus, including using both hands and keeping those heads up. Gosh, we love putting our versatile #BeyondFit turf space to use during the week! #youthsports #healthykids #happykids #fitness #play #move #mentor #LawrenceMA #BeyondSoccer ⚽️🏐🧡💙

#SundayShare - Our awesome staff of #coachmentors

#SundayShare - Our awesome staff of #coachmentors is finishing up their 4th hour of futsal play at the YWCA, with a few more hours to go, including the high school girls’ 2-hour session up next. Yes, we know we can sound like a broken record 💿, but we just love ensuring girls play sports year-round and when those #GirlsInSports experiences are also led by females, like #CoachMentor Andrea pictured during this 1st-2nd grader session from earlier! #GirlsInSports #YearRoundPlay #youthsports #healthykids #happykids #happyfamilies #playmatters #keepmoving #LawrenceMA #BeyondSoccer🧡💙⚽️🏐

Today’s #SoccerSaturdayShenanigans included an early start for a bunch of #CoachMentors and a handful of parent volunteers who loaded up the donated #NewBalance warmups for distribution at today’s all-day futsal sessions at the YWCA! Today and tomorrow, hundreds of kids will benefit from play and gear thanks to the #Beyondfamily network! #teameffort #playmatters #NewBalanceGivesBack #youthsports #healthykids #happykids #LawrenceMA #BeyondSoccer 🧡💙⚽️🏐

#WelcomeWednesday! Just yesterday, we were doing an equipment inventory, noticing right away that our soccer ball supply has gotten really low! Guess what? Today, an unexpected surprise, a large donation of more than 2 dozen soccer balls ⚽️⚽️⚽️ was delivered. #NewBalance balls, of course, by a generous individual who visited our wish list! Kind acts like this make you step back, smile, and be appreciative! Motivated, too, as our players will be working out with some great, flashy, quality soccer balls this weekend. That matters! Quality equipment makes a big difference! ⚽️🏐🧡💙

#TuesdayTip! The Physical Activity Alliance’s la

#TuesdayTip! The Physical Activity Alliance’s latest U.S. Report Card on Physical Activity for youth showed C and D- grades. Also, it shares that the BMI for children during the first 9 months of the pandemic approximately doubled compared to pre-pandemic data. Ugh! 😞That’s why we’re so committed to stepping up again in 2023 to ensure kids are moving and mentored by quality coaches.

Last week, we sponsored 28.75 hours of physical activity programming, including this Gr. 4 girls’ indoor futsal session. Most girls’ age groups/teams are up on Sundays, with 7 hours of dedicated play opportunities --with #'s expected to climb each week through March. Let’s keep moving, together! #youthsports #happykids #healthykids #coachmentors #playmatters ⚽️🧡💙

#SundayShare! Futsal is now back for Lawrence kids

#SundayShare! Futsal is now back for Lawrence kids of all ages. Seeing the gyms filling up with kids moving and parents watching from the sidelines is a great feeling in the New Year!

We kicked off yesterday @ the Lawrence YWCA with 10 hours of play, starting with the PreK & K crew and ending with the high school boys at 8 pm. Today more of the girl's age groups are up, and like everything we do, all sessions were (or will be) run or assisted by former players. #LeadershipThroughSports #YouthSports #HealthyKids #HappyKids #HealthyFamilies #YearRoundPlay #LawrenceMA ⚽️🧡💙

#FrontPageFriday – Look who made the front page

#FrontPageFriday – Look who made the front page of #RumboNews--#CoachMentor Brittanie! 📰

Merrimack Valley Credit Union & technology provider, Kasasa selected Brittanie as the winner of the local “These Are My People” contest after inspirational stories “flooded in" from the greater Merrimack Valley and South Shore on how winning would impact their lives this holiday season.” Brittanie won $2,500 to help support human connections w/her favorite people, her Grade 3 Lioness players she coached after being a former player herself! “The girls...will be able to have a great Christmas party, and I’ll be able to give them all gift cards so they can buy their own equipment.” PS, as the article says "Brittanie was known for her tenacious play but left it on the field and is now a tenacious advocate for youth through sports! #youthsports #community #connections #coachmentors #inspiration 🧡💙⚽️

What do we do when the weather cooperates in the New Year? We keep playing--outdoors! 🎉⚽️

Of course, it’s only possible because of this beautiful #Riverwalk turf facility. We especially love seeing all these girls on the turf--in 2023-- developing their skills, with another long-time female #CoachMentor, Daria overseeing the session! #facilitiesmatter #coachmentorsmatter #girlsinsports #yearroundplay #healthykids #happykids #underthelights #HappyNewYear #BeyondSoccer ⚽️🧡💙🎊

A #ThrowbackThursday 🎥 of a musical beanbag game made by H.S. soccer player, Alina (maybe a new Jr. Coach Mentor in the making?😊) of the Grade 3 Lioness holiday party put together by the awesome #CoachMentor Brittanie.

Although Christmas🎄has passed, this is a fun reminder of the magic of the holiday season and the importance of mentorship through and into the New Year!🎊 We’ve got kids that love sports and being creative--greaWhat a great combination. Here’s to more of that ahead. #youthsports #healthykids #happykids #happyfamilies #mentorship #connection #beyondsoccer ⚽️🏐🧡💙🎊

A #SaturdayShare on this special holiday wknd for so many. We’re wishing our families & friends a #MerryChristmas and #sharing that we’ve been quiet, but that’s only because there’s been a lot of important in-person connections and #sharing happening near and far. Some 📷's of recent activities include soccer play (outdoors) before all this cold set in, #BeyondFit practices, team events, Christmas meal deliveries, and special #CoachMentor holiday get together that capture the spirit of the season, which again are all about connection and care.

We look forward to catching up soon, but for now, enjoy connecting this holiday season with your loved ones. #youthsport #healthykids #happykids #happyfamilies #connections #sharing #holidayseason #yearroundconnections #merrychristmas ⚽️🏐🧡💙🎄

#TechniqueTuesday – Last night’s cold temps called for an indoor skill session in the #BeyondFIT space. Soccer Director Chris loves setting up obstacle courses with our fitness equipment. College soccer standout and long-time #CoachMentor, Daria also oversaw this energetic group of 3rd and 4th graders and ensured the balls always stayed on the turf! 🙂 #youthsports #indoorplay #playspaces #yearroundplay #coachmentors #differencemakers #youthdevelopment #ToeTouchesTuesday #LawrenceMA
