The summer is all about customizing player participation with unique out-of-school time experiences that build on kids’ strengths, promote long-term engagement, and expose them to new people and places both in Lawrence and #beyond the City limits. One main objective is to connect at least 90% of our year-round Lawrence Soccer & Beyond Volley participants to quality summertime opportunities (i.e., camps, clinics, conferences, outings) through our extensive partner network, plus engage new first-time players, as young as 4 through our signature summer events, like the Annual Sports & Wellness Academy. Further, we ensure that 100% of these activities and experiences are run by youth who have grown up in our programs through our growing Summer Youth Jobs program!
