A 🎥 #SpeedySundayShare of the Gr. 2 & 3 boys--t A 🎥 #SpeedySundayShare of the Gr. 2 & 3 boys--the Gr. 4 girls, too, three of the twenty different groups that come together for #fastpaced #futsal on Saturday or Sunday @ the YWCA. Some older groups even get 2 hours. We especially appreciate padding on the walls because, as you can see, it’s hard to honor the boundary lines with the ball moving so fast, especially for the endless energy of the Gr. 2 group. 😊 These sessions are led by most of our dedicated #CoachMentors, a team of Jr. Coach Mentors, too, who you can see teaching and jumping in to #play and lead. #leadershipthroughsports #teameffort #yearroundsports #youthsports #healthykids #happykids #happyfamilies #facilitiesmatter #BeyondSoccer #LawrenceMA ⚽🧡💙
Here’s a #FeelGood #FlashbackFriday post highlig Here’s a #FeelGood #FlashbackFriday post highlighting a family who’s been with #BeyondSoccer through thick and thin. This 📷 follows a fall season game, where oldest sibling, Noe, a heck of a player (#understatement) on the Pingree Varsity Squad, clinched their league tourney championship. 🏆His sister (left) also plays for Pingree, while the youngest (middle) is on our Jaguars squad. All three have or will start playing with us this winter.. Most importantly, we must also give both parents huge props for all the years they have coached, handled registration tables, and assisted with equipment giveaways and field set-ups. #TY #teameffort #familyeffort! This pic motivates us to ensure more families have these types of positive sports memories! #youthsports #healthykids #happykids #happyfamilies #healthycommuities #Allin #LawrenceMA⚽️🧡💙
A #WellnessWednesday highlighting the return of 3 A #WellnessWednesday highlighting the return of 30+ high school boys and growing from Central, LHS GLTS & Notre Dame. Sr. #CoachMentor William began with a pep talk in the #BeyondFit space about attitude, effort, and expectations, including collecting report cards and #AcademicOvertime assistance for older players with college goals. When the high school players took the turf field, the Jaguars got in some important wellness time with ropes, ladders, and calisthenics, followed by the Grade 4 boys’ workout. This season, we’re maximizing our spaces with lots more weekly pop-up #play.  #youthsports #healthykids #happykids #yearround #connection #mentorship #onthefield #offthefield #SBYD #leadershipthroughsprots #BeyondSoccer #LawrenceMA ⚽🧡💙⚽️🤸‍♀️🤸📒

A handful of Grade 3 Lionesses got together and jumped around @launchmethuen! More outings are in the works for other fall squads.

Our #SundaySportsShenanigans share includes lots o Our #SundaySportsShenanigans share includes lots of small-sided, fast-paced #futsal. Yesterday was the program launch at the Lawrence YWCA! Activities began at 9:15 am and ran through 9 pm. The same 12-hour program lineup is now underway, with several hundred youth & teens benefiting, with #'s growing quickly. Soccer Director Chris' voice was a bit touch-and-go when he checked in with Director Steph last night. Thankfully, he's got lots of awesome #CoachMentor and jr. coaching help, plus Programs & Partnerships Manager Iris was there to handle sign-ins. Here's to another busy day of indoor play! #weAreRhyming 🎤🎼 #youthsports #healthykids #happykids #yearround #indoor #play #leadershipthroughsports #CoachMentorsMatter #BeyondSoccer #LawrenceMA 🧡💙⚽️
It's a #FastFootworkFriday with this 🎥 encapsul It's a #FastFootworkFriday with this 🎥 encapsulating how we feel as we enter December prepping for another program launch (tomorrow) & giving season while maximizing #play and play spaces! We're moving quickly like these Grade 7 & 8 girls who had an indoor workout in the #BeyondFit space. Stretching & lunges, too. A goal is to sponsor more activity this winter than last. A deterrent is that our indoor flooring remains packed away, but we're still moving a lot between the Pavilion on above-freezing days, BeyondFit turf, and our gym rentals at the YWCA. However, we're still searching for a new location & partnership for that SportCourt. Be on the lookout 😊 #teameffort #facilitiesmatter #youthsports #healthykids #happykids #yearroundplay #connection #mentorship #youthdevelopment #SBYD #BeyondSoccer #LawrenceMA ⚽🧡💙
It's an off-the-field #TutoringThursday shoutout t It's an off-the-field #TutoringThursday shoutout to Merrimack College students who have contributed to #AcademicOvertime this fall, mentoring a group of our middle & elementary school students. Academic #OT Coordinator William mentioned the best part has been the "tutor and participant consistency," which only means the program and connections are working! These 📸s remind us of the importance of investing in spaces and to make this work, as the Cummings Foundation did in late August through its MAD$ grant. Now, all these nooks have computers for school research and other academic (and monitored) activities! #offthefield #mentoring #facilitiesmatter #partnershipsmatter #youthsports #happykids #healthykids #wellrounded #studentathletes #BeyondSoccer #SBYD #LawrenceMA #togetherisbetter ⚽🧡💙📒
It's a #TerrificTuesday after coming back #togethe It's a #TerrificTuesday after coming back #together last night from the important Thanksgiving 🦃 holiday of gratitude and thanks. Our team was all about utilizing our space and the full moon 🌕, indoors & out. We had dozens of Gr. 4 boys benefiting from skill sessions with ⚽️Director Chris on the @riverwalkpavilion turf, Gr. 5 girls worked on their fitness with #CoachMentor Eder in the #BeyondfFit room, and Sr. #CoachMentor William, who, in addition to running Academic OT, was back on the field with #Lawrence HS players for the first time since the summer. Lots more pop-up play ahead, and the start of weekend futsal this Saturday @ the YWCA! #youthsports #healthykids #happykids #yearround #play #connection #partnership #SBYD #BeyondSoccer ⚽🧡💙
A #MemorableMonday share from the Wolverines #movi A #MemorableMonday share from the Wolverines #moving (in many directions) team outing! Sr. #CoachMentor Melissa shared that Level 99 had 40 “real-life” rooms wherein groups of 2-6 could participate w/each room requiring unique problem-solving skills based on solid team communication, critical thinking, and physical strength. Melissa encouraged the girls to form groups “not based on close friendships but to work with someone they wished they had gotten to know more during the season.” Overall, it was #beyond fun plus mentally and physically rewarding in ways #beyond measure.#youthsports #healthykids #happykids #onthefied #offthefield #team #teamwork #togetherisbetter #youthdevelopment #throughsports #SBYD #GirlsInSports #BeyondSoccer ⚽🧡💙
#SaturdaysAreForSharing, plus soccer, too. 😊⚽ #SaturdaysAreForSharing, plus soccer, too. 😊⚽️❤️ Again, thanks to our special network of family & friends in and #beyond #Lawrence, every Thanksgiving 🦃🍂, we’re blessed with donations of full holiday meals and grocery store gift cards. Today, Sr. #CoachMentor Melissa picked up all these goods through our long-time friendship with the Yanchus family in Topsfield & through their relationship with St. Vincent de Paul, continue to #playitforward for #BeyondSoccer families. These positive connections with others make a difference in all parts of the organization and, most importantly, in our lives, on or off the field. #sharingiscaring #teameffort #feelinggrateful #beyondfamily 🧡💙⚽
It’s a #FeelGoodFriday now that 35 parents--& gr It’s a #FeelGoodFriday now that 35 parents--& growing--have volunteered to be part of #FUSE, or Families United through Soccer Experiences! This week, many engaged in a Q&A with #Beyond leadership to share ideas about how our programs can better support the kids and the community. Here’s Chris 📷'd with about half the group, that’s all smiles, together with Programs & Partnerships Manager Iris, who has made it her mission to get #FUSE re-established. Next up is establishing its governance, plus creating a couple of working groups in the new year to help on & #offthefield. #youthsports #healthykids #happykids #happyfamilies #healthycommunities #FUSEFriday #parentparticipation #BeyondSoccer #LawrenceMA ⚽🧡💙
#WeWereSurprisedWednesday, but not really surprise #WeWereSurprisedWednesday, but not really surprised to learn that long-time former player & student-athlete Esmeralda (📸'd right) opened the Annual @dreambigcharity Gala @ Fenway Park with another incredible female athlete, Say. Today, Esmeralda is doing important work in the mental health field after college & grad school. She was on our FIRST team-the Wolves-that got our mission going. In front of that crowd of many hundreds, including ED Steph and her grow-up sports pals, Esmeralda, importantly reminded that in addition to her early coaches, being able to play in new cleats was a #gamechanger. DreamBig! was #BeyondSoccer's FIRST equipment grant, and it went to a deserving squad of girls who gained so much confidence through sports. No one ever forgets their first pair of cleats! What a great night and #memorylane reminder! Go, Esmeralda, and Go, DreamBig!, which continues to support #BeyondSoccer and thousands of girls #yearround #GirlsinSports #PartnershipsMatter ⚽🧡💙💗

She is stepping up #bigtime in the health & wellness department, working with the Wolverines to redevelop our #inseason Fuel for Performance (#FFP) course and 5-week #offseason cooking model.

#WhyNotKeepPlayingWednesday? It's hard to keep Soc #WhyNotKeepPlayingWednesday? It's hard to keep Soccer Director Chris off the field when we still have access to it! Thank you, Pavilion at Riverwalk, for making that possible! That meant Chris invited his Gr. 4 Storm squad for an extra #popup practice at 5 p.m. while #Academic #Overtime runs inside. It's great to keep these boys moving. Standing still is a challenge, 😊 including getting them all to look at the 📷 simultaneously. Lots more #popup #play coming to this field weekly. Families, stay tuned! #yearroundplay #popupplay #youthsports #healthykids #happykids #healthyfamilies #healthycommunities #facilitiesmatter #keepplaying #keepmoving #BeyondSoccer #Lawrence🧡💙⚽
Let's keep #MovingMonday! #mentoring, too.–Maybe Let's keep #MovingMonday! #mentoring, too.–Maybe we'll add dance to our offseason program activities?! #CoachMentors Eder & Kaz hosted a #fun movie night for the Jaguars on Sunday, sharing that about halfway through the 📽, they could tell the girls were getting antsy. #Playing music 🎵 was suggested! After that, there was no turning back. They danced, laughed, and sang🎤 for the last hour together. These #offthefield events strengthen team connections in special ways, and that's why we prioritize fun outing time and ensure they get catered to that group's interests and needs, including dance! Hey, it's great exercise, too! 💃 🏃‍♀️ #offthefield #onthefield #happykids #healthykids #healthycommunities #sportsbased #youth #development #allin #play #connection #mentorship #BeyondSoccer #LawrenceMA ⚽️🧡💙🎶

Today represents the last "official" #SoccerSatur Today represents the last "official" #SoccerSaturday of the fall '23 Lawrence ⚽️ season. While we sort through the 300+ 📷's shared through WhatsApp, including the awesome parent-organized award ceremony after the Rebels match-up (👏 fams!), this one sums up our feelings. We continue to be all-hands-in for youth development through sports and creating a positive, ALL-In, #yearround environment that engages families, past players, and community members so young people connect with mentors, gain confidence, and develop new skills. Thanks to all as we fight for those most important #wins! Tomorrow, we’ll include more of the benefiting and contributing faces & smiles.😄 #youthsports #healthykids #happykids #happyfamilies #healthycommunities #SBYD #teameffort #BeyondSoccer #LawrenceMA ⚽🧡💙
It’s a #FridayFlashback to some of this week’s It’s a #FridayFlashback to some of this week’s activities. Because Monday's weather didn’t cooperate, some #Coachmentors took advantage of the light at Kane to get in extra practice before tomorrow’s #ECYSA matchups. Plus, Will Inirio shared that more players took advantage of #Academic Overtime, like brothers & travel team players who got help from #CoachMentor Bella & Merrimack College volunteers for an argumentative paper on who is the better soccer player, Mbappe or Haaland!! There was WhatsApp 🎃 costume sharing, more Captain recognitions, and final PACER testing for Boston Children’s #FitKit analysis! What a week, w/more tom! #youthsports #healthykids #happykids #onthefield #offthefield #mentorship #sportsbased #youthdevelopment #teameffort #BeyondSoccer #LawrenceMA ⚽🧡💙
It’s a #WorthyWednesday share recognizing the #C It’s a #WorthyWednesday share recognizing the #CoachMentors who take time, thought, and care to distinguish players for their individual efforts and the players, as 📸'd here, who step up with great attitudes and contribute to their teams. #CoachMentor, Eder chose these 2 Jaguars for loving to defend as Captains for last Saturday’s game vs. Beverly. Eder announced that “M" (right) has been working hard the past couple of practices with the goal to be selected captain. Her hard work made it happen!” Great stuff 👏. For "I" (left), "it's her second time as captain for how she motivates the defense. Her leadership has been noticed by all!” Ps, our leadership especially loves it when defenders are recognized. We have former college defenders in the house! 😊🥅 #youthsports #healthykids #happykids #healthyfamilies #healthycommunities #girlsinsports #leadershipthroughsports #teamcaptain #team #LawrenceMA #BeyondSoccer #DefenseWinsChampionships⚽️🧡💙
If this doesn’t #MondayMotivate us about our off If this doesn’t #MondayMotivate us about our off-the-field wellness priorities, we don’t know what else can. Sr. #CoachMentor Melissa (student studying nutrition education at UMass Lowell) & Communications Manager Oriagna have been working for weeks to bring back Fuel for Performance, incorporating messages from Boston Children’s Fitkit toolkit. @nbgivesback Friday night’s #FFP (pilot) class was open to 10, 7th & 8th Gr. Wolverines. It incorporated a hands-on overnight oats recipe ideal for sustained energy. Players also did pre and post-intakes so we could get some baseline related to their nutrition education understandings. #FFP will be further developed by Melissa, Ori, and other partners for more middle & high schoolers over the winter, with required spring courses for age-appropriate players! #SBYD #ontheield #offthefield #youthsports #healthykids #happykids #healthyfamilies #healthycommunities #LawrenceMA #BeyondSoccer⚽🧡💙🍎🍌🍓
