A #SundayShare from a busy wknd for 300+ kids, like this “human ladder game” that #CoachMentor Will calls it . We also love the #circleup w/Messi & Ronaldo side by side. It represents sports’ ability to bring people together from different sides 🧡💙⚽️

#MondayMemories from another busy weekend! Most league-away games happened Saturday. The Gr 5 Bulldogs competed in Wilmington, Gr 4 Lioness in Woburn, Gr 6 Thunder in Andover, and Gr 5 Rebels in Beverly. The Gr. 8 Strikerz also played the only home game because it was on the reliable Pavillion turf. Sunday represented another first, with @thebostondream organizing an #Allin for women and #girlsinsports day, including soccer training with @mc_womens_soccer and a #BostonDream leadership session. The girls then cheered on players, including #MC keeper & #CoachMentor, Roo, in a competitive Boston Dream v. MC matchup! More recaps to follow, but we’re all in for sports and great #partners! #teameffort #youthsports #youthsoccer #healthykids #happykids #LawrenceMA ⚽🧡💙

A #TeamworkThursday share of the Gr. 3 Eagles' solid #team performance in Wilmington with their #CoachMentors, Kevin and David, of Lawrence. This squad was part of a committed in-city group last fall, developing their skills. Their efforts now mean traveling in the Essex County Youth Soccer League. It's also extra impactful when young adult leaders #lead them. Kevin has a younger brother on the team, and David has been involved in #BeyondSoccer his "whole life," including being part of our 1st Thunder squad in 2011! ✔️ out the #CoachMentor webpage for more & #GoEagles (yes, named after a former #BC Eagle who got #Beyond up and running)! #teameffort #youthsports #youthsoccer #healthykids #happykids #happyfamilies #leadershipthroughsports #LawrenceMA ⚽🧡💙

#TakeMeBackTuesday to an unbelievable day in Bosto

#TakeMeBackTuesday to an unbelievable day in Boston for the 128th running of the Boston Marathon. It was full of so much determination, love, and connection. Some #BeyondSoccer leaders, with their close sports pals, watched runners make a final turn before the finish line @greghillfoundation Marathon celebration @ the Capital Grill. We were especially partial to cheering on long-time #Beyond #CoachMentor, former Forest Foundation Intern, now rockstar middle school ESL teacher Sadie Farnsworth, who's also part of our Resilient Girls Project with the Women's Fund of Essex County. Sadie finished strong! Talk about resilience and leading by example! It's great watching so many folks run for important causes, including friends @bostonscores @lawrence_basketball_sb, and @dreambigcharity We're #Allin for #youthsports #healthykids #happykids #happyfamilies #healthycommunities #girlsinsports #leadershipthroughsports #LawrenceMA #BeyondSoccer ⚽️🧡💙

A #SundaySoccer Share that we can’t get enough of. Thanks to #LawrenceHighSchool Sr. Andy Guzman, who again captured these remarkable action 📷's of in-city league play. Thanks to all involved who made this kickoff for hundreds of youth, with...

✔️All hands-in for sports and teamwork

It's a #FlashbackFriday after a busy week of spring soccer! Lots of prep work, too, by ⚽ Director Chris, our team of #CoachMentors & Jr. Coaches, many parents through FUSE, and other staff members, including Partnership Manager Iris, 📸'd here, taking a timeout with @senpavelpayano while registering families. @reyesforstaterep, too! Do you know we've already registered 467 players? It can be bumpy initially, including packing everyone in @riverwalkpavilion, as grass fields need more attention. But this share shows, including important (& loud) birthday celebrations, that they're engaged, rain or shine, with most paying attention to Chris as he does some pep talking. See you tomorrow on a field near you! #teameffort #youthsports #healthykids #happykids #healthyfamilies #healthycommunities #yearroundplay #Allin #LawrenceMA #BeyondSoccer ⚽🧡💙

It's a #TerrificTuesday post after yesterday's incredible eclipse 🌘 and the kickoff of full practice for both in-city and travel ⚽️ players @riverwalkpavilion.

To say the field was packed and energized from 5-9pm is a complete understatement. It was an all-hands-on deck approach, per usual, with so many Jr. coaches coming in early to help with equipment and an office cleanup for special guests @senpavelpayano and @reyesforstaterep. Our #FUSE parents and #CoachMentors, at least 25 strong including many former players, led the kids, making it a great #teameffort #youthsports #healthykids #happykids #healthyfamilies #healthycommunities #yearroundplay #Allin #LawrenceMA #BeyondSoccer ⚽️🧡💙

It's a staggered #SpringSoccerStart. Still, it's a start, and this Gr. 8 Strikerz squad, 📸'd post-matchup, makes us proud, opening up another #Lawrence season with their away game--on turf--in Saugus. Like many communities, our home grass field was closed due to recent challenging weather and because it's a challenging grass field. Thanks, #CoachMentor Dominic, who's probably in his 10th year with us (not season!). Soccer Director Chris also made the trip, together with Johnny, our Operations Manager--a busy referee, too! It was a close 2-1 loss with lots of back and forth. They'll get a rematch later in the @Essex County Youth Soccer season--lots more #play and practice ahead! #teameffort #youthsports #healthykids #happykids #healthyfamilies #healthycommunities #yearroundplay #Allin #LawrenceMA #BeyondSoccer ⚽️🧡💙

It's a #TeamEffortTuesday when our #CoachMentors organize and track player PACER scores. Spring & fall soccer now #kickoff consistently with PACER. Our #team and players are getting more excited about tracking baseline measures of aerobic fitness levels and working hard during the 10+ week seasons to maintain or improve those levels. Thanks to a great partnership with the @bostonchildrens #FitKit #team and the #NewBalance Foundation, those Healthy Fitness Zone (HFZ) scores (pre & post-season) are reviewed and evaluated. We're confident we'll support healthier kids this spring! Also, props to former player, now #CoachMentor Issandel, for snapping these incredible pics at the @riverwalkpavilion! What a beautiful night. #teameffort #youthsports #healthykids #happykids #healthyfamilies #healthycommunities #yearroundplay #play #partnerships #Allin @nbgivesback #LawrenceMA #BeyondSoccer ⚽🧡💙

It's finally a #SunnySoccerSaturday, and guess what? One of our committed #CoachMentors, Eder, took advantage of the beautiful field access before next weekend's season launch. Our program rarely lets a dedicated space go unused, even if we should take more #timeouts! Here's to more ☀️weather for sports and more spaces like this @riverwalkpavilion, whose impact is immeasurable! More dedicated Coach Mentors, too! #teameffort #youthsports #healthykids #happykids #healthycommunities #yearroundplay #facilitiesmatter #onthefield #offthefield #Allin #LawrenceMA #BeyondSoccer 🧡💙⚽️

It's a #Flashback, #FeelGoodFriday share from our longtime friend, partner, and youth sports champion Everyone's A Player! This work works because of partnerships, and here's #EAP thanks to @debbiestreasurechest getting much-needed gear to Lawrence sports organizations, including us, #Lawrence High School teams, Sueños Basketball, and Mercedes Baseball, and, yes, New Balance Balance gear, too! It's #gearing us up for lots of spring play ahead. Thank you! #teameffort #youthsports #healthykids #happykids #healthycommunities #onthefield #offthefield #partnershipsmatter #Allin #togetherisbetter #NBGivesBack #LawrenceMA #BeyondSoccer ⚽️💙🧡

#TeamworkTuesday-Some teams benefited from their first outdoor practice of the spring season yesterday on @riverwalkpavilion. Longtime leader & #CoachMentor Adam snapped these unique shots of players, including #CoachMentors Eder and Kaz, having pep talks and #CaochMentor Issandel running #teambuilders with the setting sun and the clocktower in the distance.☀️ It’s a nice way to memorialize a season kickoff. Yes, we wish we had a little more time in between winter and spring season shifts—but hey, ⚽️ Director Chris wants Lawrence kids to get in as many quality hours of play with our growing coach mentor crew who are also applying their recent coaches training--- in coats, hats, and gloves. #youthsports #youthsoccer #season #launch #spring2024 #onthefield #coachmentors #healthykids #happykids #healthycommunities #sportsbased #youthdevelopment #SBYD #Allin #teameffort #LawrenceMA⚽🧡💙

It’s #MondayMemories as yesterday marked the end of winter indoor #futsal, and today marks the spring soccer start for many teams and players at the Pavilion Turf! Sunday represented the final round of playoff games for lots of teams, and it was packed—we mean packed. Our crew of #CoachMentors couldn’t believe how loud it got in the @ywcanema gym—in lots of good, cheering on the players-type-of-ways. Enjoy these pics from our fabulous #LHS Senior photographer, Andy, and some 📷s from families from Saturday’s all-day session as we ready ourselves for a new season kickoff (yikes—where did the time go?!) #youthsports #healthykids #happykids #happyfamilies #yearroundplay #coachmentors #onthefield #onthecourt #leadershipthroughsports #BeyondSoccer #LawrenceMA⚽🧡💙

#FlashbackFriday to this week's interactive #Coach

#FlashbackFriday to this week's interactive #CoachMentor meeting led by ⚽Director Chris to prep for the upcoming spring season. More than 350 youth are already registered (& growing daily) so the #team took extra time to review player & coach expectations, like reinforcing Get R.E.A.L., the importance of collecting report cards, organizing outings, incorporating teambuilders, learnings from the The Center for Healing and Justice through Sport, & more! Long-time #CoachMentor Adam led one of those teambuilders. If this crew doesn't think it’s engaging, it won't work for the youth :) Of course, they had some food, too, which helps them be a united front when things gets going (after futsal ends Sunday!) #GoTeam!

Andy G. also did double-time as a #CoachMentor and photographer📷 #youthsport #healthykids #happykids #happyfamilies #healthycommunities #sportsbased #youthdevelopment #yearroundplay #onthefield #offthefield #BeyondSoccer #LawrenceMA ⚽🧡💙

It's a #WinningWednesday when you walk into the enrichment space and hear cubicles full of @merrimackcollege students and #BeyondSoccer seniors providing one-on-one homework help. It's been neat watching this program evolve under @winirio13's leadership to include more #BeyondSoccer student-athletes with solid GPAs like Noe (📷'd here in the first shot). He's a tremendous student-athlete at Pingree School who's getting more involved as the # of kids wanting extra classroom help grows. It's also part of Will's vision to ensure this support continues through the busy spring & summer seasons, even during college break when #MC students are unavailable.

It’s a #SundayShare, and we think this 📸 of a Grade 6 futsal team, dressed in green with #CoachMentor Angel captured by player-photographer Andy G. on St. Patrick’s Day🍀 is the perfect share. Today also marks the first Sunday of our futsal playoff schedule, with next Sunday marking the end of the indoor season, which means 17 weeks of play and the start of outdoor soccer, and hopefully on green grass, too! Green is the theme today 🍀😊 #youthsports #healthykids #happykids #yearroundplay #coachmentors #onthefield #onthecourt #leadershipthroughsports #BeyondSoccer #LawrenceMA ⚽️🧡💙

#SettingRecordsSaturday - We're already 8 hours into our 16th #SoccerSaturday at the YWCA, with a few more hours left, including high school play until 9pm.

⚽️ Director Chris said he "can't believe there's just one weekend remaining of indoor futsal before we head outdoors." He also thanked our crew of #coachmentors for this record-breaking winter season. It's meant over 90 new players and 374 hours of weekend futsal already sponsored. Here's a lineup of Gr. 4 & 5 players representing one of the many afternoon skill work and scrimmaging sessions setting those records. We agree with those thumbs up!👍#feelingmotivated #youthsports #healthykids #happykids #yearroundplay #coachmentors #onthefield #offthefield #settingrecords (for youth!) #BeyondSoccer #LawrenceMA ⚽️🧡💙

It’s a #WinningWednesday share that captures the joy of play. We’re also #winning now that #LHS Abbott Academy Senior and long-time #BeyondSoccer player Andy contributes his interests and skills weekly to better capture these emotions of play in a next-level way. ⚽️Director Chris & our crew of #CoachMentors are especially happy as it’s not easy to step back and take 📸s when you’re all-in coordinating and leading busy practices and programs for lots of kids. #teameffort #allin #youthsports #healthykids #happykids #onthefield #offthefield #yearround #play #connection #team #leadership #throughsports #BeyondSoccer #LawrenceMA ⚽🧡💙

It's a #SpecialSundayShare about a #special event

It's a #SpecialSundayShare about a #special event organized by some incredibly #special people and parents through #FUSE, including Partnership Manager Iris, who kept saying it's time for #BeyondSoccer to host a community get-together. She was right, along w/FUSE leader Cesy, who spearheaded this 1st family celebration (post-pandemic).

It brought 300 folks together – yes, 300!—for food and festivity, with so many families contributing. The "Get R.E.A.L. bracelet awards were also unveiled, recognizing players in each age group for showing consistent Respect—Effort—Attendance-- Leadership characteristics. The #special stories ⚽ Director Chris told (thanks to our team of #CoachMentors) about those recognized young people were moving and personal. They show up early to help, consistently encourage others, and volunteer time to lead the little ones. There's more to share, but family events and award recognitions are returning, thanks to so many. #teameffort #youthsports #healthykids #happykids #yearround #play #connection #team #leadership #SBYD #onthefield #offthefield #BeyondSoccer #LawrenceMA ⚽🧡💙

A #FeelGoodFriday post after being invited to the Leonard School's First Community Fair! #TY Thanks also to Everyone's A Player for ensuring this 1st school fair included more Lawrence sports groups and #SBYD friends, like Serving Stars and SquashBusters. It also feels good when we see new female players signing up for programs, and it's especially great on #InternationalWomensDay. We wish another wonderful woman, Programs & Partnership Manager Iris Inirio, got in the 📸 with the info table she organized & led! #girlsinsports #womeninsports #sharingiscaring #youthsports #healthykids #happykids #Allin #LawrenceMA #schoolpartners #LPS#letsplay #BeyondSoccer #togetherisbetter #NBGivesBack #IWD2024 ⚽🧡💙

It’s #ThrowbackThursday time, highlighting all the #play and learning happening this week. Sure, the weather wasn’t super cooperative, but that didn’t stop hundreds of kids from coming out, including this Grade 4 player who showed up early and helped ⚽ Director Chris with the setup! We also love seeing the Academic #Overtime participants continue to come in for weekly tutoring, plus more indoor fitness, foot skills, and futsal. A common theme here is the importance of consistent and quality facilities and committed #CoachMentors like former player Angel 📷'd pep talking—tutors too, in making this 7-day/week schedule work! #teameffort #youthsports #healthykids #happykids #yearround #play #connection #team #leadershipthroughsports #SBYD #onthefield #offthefield #BeyondSoccer #LawrenceMA ⚽🧡💙
