#SundaySportsShare! We couldn't imagine a weekend

#SundaySportsShare! We couldn't imagine a weekend without sports! It's been a hot one ☀️, but our players were still all smiles, post-game, with their serious game faces left for competition, only, like this hard-working Grade 4 Storm Player. Despite needing to make adjustments for the youngest players, ages 4-8, in the heat, hundreds were able to play, well-hydrated, of course! Thanks to all the coaches, players, and parents who came out! #youthsports #healthykids #happykids #playmatters #healthycommunities #LawrenceMA #BeyondSoccer #BeyondVolley
⚽️🏐🧡💙

#TrailblazingThursday -This special long-time #Bey

#TrailblazingThursday -This special long-time #Beyond athlete, turned #CoachMentor, turned Sr. Coach-Mentor & Office Administrator, turned recent UMass Lowell #CollegeGrad, @Esmeralda Inirio (grad 📷 here!) will (next up) pursue her master's in athletic training! All of her trailblazing fit nicely into our Beyond Fit & Balanced speaker lineup, where she spoke about the importance of having healthy friendships throughout her journey.

One of the #FAB girls got emotional when sharing that her group of friends was picking on her. Esme reinforced that TRUE friends make your life easier, provide support with no strings attached and never make fun of your insecurities--you need to recognize and embrace true friendships and turn your back on anything else. #TY Esme, for your continued contributions and care, as a player, coach, mentor, staff member, and most importantly as a TRUE #BeyondVolley & #BeyondSoccer FRIEND 😊 & trailblazer #GoingPlaces ⚽️🏐🧡💙

#WeAreLovingThisWeatherWednesday! Thanks, parents,

#WeAreLovingThisWeatherWednesday! Thanks, parents, for capturing this beautiful night for sports and recreation at Lawrence Veterans Memorial Stadium. That’s the lively Lions team --up close in the 🎥--starting their practice session with a fun, active warmup that promotes healthy competition while getting them focused and moving right off the bat! #WellnessWednesday #WeLoveSportsWednesday #YouthSports #HealthyKids #HappyKids #LawrenceMA #BeyondSoccer #BeyondVolley ⚽️🏐🧡💙

#MondayMemories -1st Middle School Buddies Tourney

#MondayMemories -1st Middle School Buddies Tourney in the books! To say we’re #beyond proud of the #BeyondVolley team, especially its brave, dedicated leader, Leti Valdez is an understatement. Most recognize how challenging it is to start any new endeavor or program. It’s scary. You must put yourself out there to make a difference and be prepared for the challenges and last-minute obstacles that will--no doubt--come. Also, the fear of failure or running something that falls short of expectations can creep in. When that fear is put to the side, this is what happens--an event where kids played, and for most, in their first-ever tourney, making unforgettable memories.

The feedback from players & fams, plus the awesomely dedicated youth leaders and #CoachMentors who helped Leti make her vision come together have been inspiring! Here’s to the 1st of many more Buddies Tournaments! Kudos to the entire team, w/more to thank! #youthsports #happykids #healthykids #healthycommunities #BeyondVolley #BeyondSoccer 🏐⚽️🧡💙

#SundaySportsRecap – Kids of all ages were busy-

#SundaySportsRecap – Kids of all ages were busy--all day--yesterday, playing, cheering, and competing! Here are some pictures of that game & play-action (ps – some #CoachMentors are better than others at snapping pics – we’ll give them an excuse for being too focused on the kids 😊) Next up, today, the High School girls team is prepping for a matchup in Haverhill this afternoon, and as we post, Beyond Volley is kicking off, oops, we mean #setting up their first Annual Buddies Tournament for middle schoolers at the #YWCA (sneak peek pic of the 1st matchup)! Our coaches are always looking for new ways to get kids playing and moving! We adore them! #youthsports #happykids #healthykids #healthycommunities #multisports #playmatters #beyondsoccer #beyondVolley #BeyondFAM⚽️🏐🧡💙

#WeReLeapingThroughWednesday with lots of activiti

#WeReLeapingThroughWednesday with lots of activities, fun, and play! Here are the Gr. 4 Jaguars and Gr. 4 Heat team players getting in some active #teambuilding at practice through a fun leapfrog game 🐸. (Yes, 2 girls teams of Grade 3 & 4 players - we're growing #leaps & bounds 😀) Thanks #CoachMentor, Sadie, for always bringing your best! Also, a special #TY @glts_reggies for giving our girls teams access to your awesome stadium turf facility! #youthsports #healthykids #happykids #healthycommunities #partnerships #facilitiesmatter #coachmentors #girlsinsports ⚽️🏐🧡💙🐸

#MondayMashup of on-&-off-the-field-&-court weeken

#MondayMashup of on-&-off-the-field-&-court weekend activities! Despite a field closure forcing us to change Lawrence Rec and 2 opposing team cancellations (sorry Grade 4 Jaguars & H.S. Tigers squad– you were all on a roll), our other teams had a great turnout.

We were especially proud of the Wolverines who had a tough start but put up a fierce challenge w/3 subs at LHS! The #BeyondVolley crew sponsored its 1st alumni game so that college-age athletes could still play (placing 2nd)--& w/giving back & mentoring younger players a part of the experience! #WinWin! Also, 14 youth who have been stepping up on fields & courts w/good attitudes, were selected to complete job applications to be part of our summer staff through Mass Hire’s #YouthWorks program. Lots of great memories and lots of happy moms also getting their props for Mother’s Day! 😀#youthsports #healthykids #happykids 🧡💙⚽️🏐

Here's a good #FunFriday 🎥 reminder of the powe

Here's a good #FunFriday 🎥 reminder of the power of sports and teambuilding as we head into another busy sports weekend! So many important opportunities exist for kids to learn the value of teamwork, good communication, and positive attitudes in problem-solving. Yes, in this case, it's just getting to the end of the field and back in a circle, but a big deal for these youth. Some take leadership roles while others support and cheer, and then roles flip the next time! Here's to more great #teamwork this weekend! #youthsports #healthykids #happpykids #LawrenceMA #BeyondSoccer #BeyondVolley ⚽️🏐🧡💙

Here’s a #TransformationThursday 📷 that’s h

Here’s a #TransformationThursday 📷 that’s happening right before our very eyes, just outside our office & program space @riverwalkinnovation. To see the goalposts being assembled, after being lifted onto the rooftop by crane together with fully assembled soccer goals in the background, is truly thrilling! Increased, quality sports facilities and play spaces are a key part of the solution to improving public health, making the economy churn, and getting more kids & adults on a healthier path! We can’t wait to get out there this summer after the turf has been installed, plus enjoy all of the other innovative benefits in the works! #youthsports #healthykids #happykids #healthycommunities #playspaces #LawrenceMA #BeyondVolley #BeyondSoccer #Innovation ⚽️🏐🧡💙

#WeReAlwaysPlayingWednesday - Live from the court

#WeReAlwaysPlayingWednesday - Live from the court thanks to our friends @ the #LawrenceYMCA, is the growing #BeyondVolley #NoDiggity age group learning how to successfully #dig and make #bump passes. Having the proper form and footwork, including bending those knees, is a must! Lots of practice too, which we make sure happens weekly with another full gym of eager players, supportive families, and #CoachMentors! #NoDiggity #YouthSports #HappyKids #HealthyKids #HealthyCommunities #LawrenceMA #LetsPlay #BeyondFamily @Leti Valdez🧡💙🏐⚽️

#MondayMessage - #GirlsInSports has taken a big hi

#MondayMessage - #GirlsInSports has taken a big hit! Covid-19 sidelined a lot of momentum, tackling stats like girls being 2x as likely to drop out of sports than boys by age 14! We’ve experienced these inequities firsthand & are working w/our sports friends to create more pipelines that support more girls & connect them to positive female role models who lead them!

Yesterday’s 📽 from the H.S. Tigers Team warmup before their 2nd game was incredibly encouraging. It’s the 1st sponsored H.S. team in many years in Essex County League play, and it includes a full squad of committed females. That’s because they're led recruited, and mentored by a young woman who is also facing adversity with bravery and determination-- making this a supportive & positive space despite playing towns w/greater resources! Here's to more #GirlsInSports! #TY especially #Coach @ Liah R

A #SundaySports share that’s all about keeping sports fun, simple, and spirited at all levels and ages! When kids are having fun, the research shows that it’s much easier for them to learn, get along with others, express themselves, and develop physical literacy. The best part is that this fun is being brought to them by older Lawrence middle and high schoolers who #PlayITforward before or after their game matchups! Thanks to our team! It’s great to see the fields filling up again –sidelines too-- after a tough timeout! #youthsports #happykids #healthykids #healthcommunities #teameffort #LawrenceMA #BeyondSoccer #BeyondVolley ⚽️🏐🧡💙

#SoccerSaturdayRecap – Our travel team games wer

#SoccerSaturdayRecap – Our travel team games were ALL at noon today! That was a first and made it difficult to see the usual amount of game action. We had some great team wins, tough team losses, competed with players down, came back from behind, had families having sideline fun, and, of course, some go-to post-game silly pics with that Jaguars team. While we regularly have to deal with play-related hiccups, especially as we grow, the love and all of this connection make those hiccups easier to tackle, especially knowing that everyone involved comes from a place of love and care, who want the best for kids. Love and positivity are contagious. #PlayOn #YouthSports #HappyKids #HealthyKids #HealthCommunities #LawrenceMA #BeyondSoccer #BeyondVolley 🧡💙⚽️🏐

Here’s a #FitnessFriday post from last night’s

Here’s a #FitnessFriday post from last night’s Grade 8 boys Strikerz practice! The best part is that this fitness drill is not just being led and encouraged on the sideline by our coaches, but that longtime #CoachMentor Dominic is also on the field, running with the boys! Now that’s great mentorship – a total lead, by example! Also, what a beautiful night at Veterans Memorial Stadium. ☀️ Thanks for this important access that gets to be used by Lawrence kids! #LeadbyExample #youthsports #happykids #healthykids #healthycommunities #LawrenceMA #BeyondSoccer #BeyondVolley ⚽️🏐🧡💙

#ThankfulThursday to coaches & players who help us

#ThankfulThursday to coaches & players who help us pay attention to the essential details! Yes, #BeyondSoccer has grown a lot, from 12 girls to impacting thousands of kids & teens and partnering up for #BeyondVolley. Growth is good, but we want to be mindful of attention to detail, ensuring program quality, or that the personal stuff doesn’t get missed. We want each player to feel like they are an important part of our team.

Earlier this week, we were reminded of that when a group of #BeyondVolley youth made posters for 2 boys in the program with birthdays🥳 & big LHS v Central volleyball matchups! This crew 📷 also provided a personalized cheering session, which was, of course, led by our fearless leader, Leti Valdez. We don’t always get it right, but we do try hard to make each player feel like a unique part of the #BeyondFamily. ⚽️🏐🧡💙

#TheFutureIsBrightTuesday 🤩 for sports and phys

#TheFutureIsBrightTuesday 🤩 for sports and physical activity. Here's a 📷 from the 1st & 2nd-grade Lioness practice session last night w/#CoachMentor Melissa! These girls benefit from 3 days/week of play, practice, and mentorship! Melissa is loving her role, not only as a former player many years ago, but because it fuels her educational interests, now a pre-Med Biology major with a minor in Spanish and Nutritional studies. She's looking forward to getting these players into the HealthKicks! Teaching kitchen for a team bonding event focused on healthy eating! #GirlsInSports #YOuthSports #HealthyKids #HappyKids #FutureisBright #LawrenceMA #BeyondSoccer #BeyondVolley
⚽️🏐🧡💙

#SaturdayNightSportsRecap – After starting @ 8:0

#SaturdayNightSportsRecap – After starting @ 8:00 am, our final program is just finishing up at GLTS! One of our youngest groups, the Gr. 1&2 Lions & Lionesses, complete the day for us! Here they are in gameday mode w/so many happy families lining the fence and taking part! Lots of games all over, including matchups in Lawrence, Andover, Marblehead, Rockport, and Wakefield --hey, is that a carnival behind the Storm team?! Plus #BeyondFAB and #BeyondVolley's go-to Saturday clinics were busy as ever! #TY to the hundreds of fams who participated, traveled, and cheered! We're grateful to you! Now, it's time to take a break and cheer on the Celtics!🍀#YouthSports #HealthyKids #HappyKids #BeyondSoccer #BeyondVolley #BeyondFam 🧡💙⚽️🏐

We're taking this #ThrowbackThursday post back to

#WinningWednesday - Here’s Grade 4 #CoachMentor,

#WinningWednesday - Here’s Grade 4 #CoachMentor, Sam, getting a surprise birthday cake from his players/player families during last night’s practice session! It was a special moment when all the boys’ teams and coaches came together to sing and celebrate Sam’s special day. The bonds that are created through sports are unrivaled. Thanks, Sam, for all you bring to the program, and #TY parents for sharing the love and spreading good vibes! #youthsports #happykids #healthykids #healthycommunities #playmatters #HBD #SBYD #lawrenceyouthsoccer #beyondsoccer #beyondvolley #beyondFAM ⚽️🏐🧡💙🍰

After an outstanding Patriot’s Day #MarathonMond

After an outstanding Patriot’s Day #MarathonMonday we’re #TakingYouBackTuesday to the weekend’s on-and-off-the-court festivities!

As you can see, we hosted many activities and games, including rec soccer’s outdoor start for PK-K players, and also celebrated the Easter Holiday with a few goodies after a hard-earned volleyball practice! Plus, Stephanie Nunez spent spoke to our #BeyondFAB female athletes live from the new Social Media HUB, answering questions about her persistence that recently earned her a Business Administration degree at Merrimack College, as well as the importance of self-care or strategies that help females stay physically, mentally, & emotionally well.
