It's a #TeamEffortThursday for this #team of Jagua

It's a #TeamEffortThursday for this #team of Jaguars players as they communicated their way out of this human knot challenge during practice. Here's to another day of sports and teambuilding that gets young people talking, problem-solving, moving, and celebrating. Yes, there was a lot of celebratory dancing at the end, but that 📽 was too long! 💃 😀#youthsports #happykids #healthykids #happyfamilies #youthdevelopment #coachmentors #playmatters #girlsinsports #LawrenceMa #BeyondSoccer #BeyondVolley ⚽️🏐💙🧡

#WeAreFamilyWednesday! We love that parent 📷s flood our 15 different WhatsApp Team chats, daily, like these ⬆️ shared by a Gr.1 & 2 City League parent from their Pavilion at Riverwalk practice session. Ps, we still have to pinch ourselves that we’re a key player & partner at this incredible sports facility, where Lawrence kids as young as 4 reap all of its awesome benefits. It's obvious that our parents are loving it too! Broken record alert❗ #FacilitiesMatter plus #Teamwork & parent participation too.

The simple stuff like sharing pics to joining Families United through Sports Experiences (more to follow on #FUSE) all add up! #teameffort #allin #feelingmotivated #youthsports #happykids #healthykids #happyfamilies #LawrenceMA

#MemoryLaneMonday – Here’s Oriagna Inirio long-time #BeyondSoccer player, Sr. #CoachMentor, PT Administrator & so much more, visiting Director Stephanie’s old stomping grounds @ the @uofmichigan!

Oriagna, who recently relocated with her husband to the Detriot MI area for work, is right next door to where Stephanie, with the help of an incredible crew of #Wolverines ⚽️teammates, further developed her love of soccer and sports (those football, hockey, volleyball, bball swimming in gymnastics teams,…the list goes on, weren’t too shabby 😊). We got pics of Kimothy, their dog, and Oriagna around the Ann Arbor campus, and yes, they even got to a game at the Big House! #WinWin Another--broken record--reminder of sports’ ability to unify and connect people like nothing else! MgoBlue! Go Beyond alums! #GoingPlaces #BeyondSoccer #TeamEffort #YouthSports #CollegeSports #CoachMentors⚽️🏐🏈⚾️🎾🏀🏊‍♀️🧡💙

#SaturdaySportsWrapup! It’s a wrap after lots of play in Lawrence, plus lots of league play “Beyond” the City limits with matchups in North Reading, Lynnfield, Dracut, and Hamilton Wenham for the Gr. 4 Jaguars, Gr. 3 Lions, Gr. 8 Strikerz, Gr. 6 Thunder, and Gr. 6 Bulldogs Teams. The Gr. 4 Storm, Gr. 3 Lionesses, Gr. 5 Rebels, and Gr. 6 Thunder Teams didn’t have to travel far, repping at home @ John P. Kane Park.

Unfortunately, no game for the Gr. 8 Wolverines, but guess what? Many Wolverines volunteered as Jr. Coaches for the early morning PreK & K Rec Program, followed by the In-City League for 1st and 2nd graders who got to have their first #SoccerSaturday @Pavillion Field! Another #winwin for everyone involved! #rolemodels #leadershipthroughsports #givingback #youthsports #healthykids #happykids #EssexCountyYouthSoccer ⚽️🏐🧡💙

#FitnessFriday – We 🧡 when #CoachMentors get

#FitnessFriday – We 🧡 when #CoachMentors get in on PACER. It’s another way they can #leadbyexample. See Dom & Chris running!

We test travel team players 4x a year, using PACER, to evaluate if we’re contributing to their healthy fitness zone or cardiovascular health! That testing started this week and will be evaluated thanks to our partnership w/the @newbalance Foundation Obesity Prevention Center at Boston Children's Hospital and their fit kit team! Improving youth aerobic fitness levels builds strong bones and muscles, controls weight, can reduce anxiety and depression, and lessens the risks of developing heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Let’s keep moving! #youthsports #healthykids #happykids #partnerships #hearthealth #beyond @nbgivesback #LawrenceMA ⚽️🏐🧡💙

#TeamBuildingThursday – Teambuilding games and activities are woven into everything we do. During most practices, you’ll see an activity like this, "Untie the Knot," that #CoachMentor Melissa led last night with her Gr. 5 & 6 Bulldogs! The girls must keep moving, they can't let go of the pinnies/scrimmage vests or switch arms!! Yikes 😀 Good teammates, make good problem-solvers. They also do better on fields, in the classroom, and in life! #youthsports #healthykids #happykids #team #teambuilders #PavilionField #LawrenceYouthSoccer #LawrenceMA ⚽️🏐🧡💙

#TerrificTuesday - Have we shared enough how much

#TerrificTuesday - Have we shared enough how much we 🧡 our friends @ the @newbalance Foundation! If this isn’t a sign of how @nbgivesback, we don’t know what else is!! Not only do they provide our teams and in-city leagues with uniforms and t-shirts, plus program funding for lots of great organizations, but they recently reached out asking if we could put extra inventory (sweatpants, zip-ups, sweatshirts, shorts..) from a warehouse across the country to good use! Of course, we can!! But, be on the lookout #Beyond players and families as we will need some extra help sorting and organizing. 😀 Thank you, #NB from the bottom of our hearts. 💙🧡⚽️🏐 #giving #partnerships #community #philanthropy #teameffort #NBGivesBack

#SundaySportsShare! Here’s a small smattering of the jampacked soccer activities from yesterday that started at 8:00 am with the FIRST-EVER #LawrenceYouthSoccer game hosted at the Pavillion Field @riverwalkpavilion! It was a memorable experience that also resulted in a hard-fought 1-0 win for long-time Coach-Mentor, Dominic, and his Gr. 8 Strikerz! The day ended at 6 pm after the city league games for the 1st and 2nd graders, all part of our effort to expand play for younger kids to 3 days/week, plus our youngest cohort of Pre-K and Kindergarten soccer players finally took to the field. #youthsports #healthykids #happykids #lawrenceMA #playmatters #facilitiesmatter #play #connection #BeyondFam ⚽️🏐🧡💙

#ThrowbackThursday to yesterday’s ribbon cutting

#ThrowbackThursday to yesterday’s ribbon cutting at the new field @riverwalkpavilion . It was an honor to be part of the groundbreaking festivities, including motivating remarks by former Mayor Mike Sullivan, Mayor Brian DePena, Governor Charlie Baker, and of course, Sal Lupoli. Beyond Soccer player, Gigi, too, of the Wolverines team, made the 1st ceremonial goal! ⚽️ Our @lawrencepopwarner friends also made the 1st pass 🏈 #winwin

Sal, among other things, emphasized the importance of grinding it out, tying it into sports--of course. We’re grateful for Sal, his team, this project, its vision, and the grit & grind that made it a reality b/c it has aligned with our spirit & determination to ensure Lawrence kids have access to quality playing spaces, like these players from their Pavilion Field practice only hours after the dedication! #Riverwalk #Innovation #playspaces #youthsports #healthykids #happykids ⚽️🏐🧡💙

It’s a #TerrificTuesday after our girls’ teams

It’s a #TerrificTuesday after our girls’ teams took to the new @riverwalkpavilion field for the first time last night. There are no words to describe the excitement felt by staff, coaches, families, and players. It’s a beautiful, innovative field that will be a regular home for Lawrence girls and boys this fall, plus spring, and summer, too, through a wonderful partnership with the Riverwalk Innovation and #LupoliCompanies It is #Beyond motivating for our program and kids. Here’s to a great Lawrence Youth Soccer season ahead with even more quality play & connection!

#SundaySportsWrapUp – It was a perfectly hectic

#SundaySportsWrapUp – It was a perfectly hectic & memorable fall ⚽️ kickoff, w/so many moving parts, lots of healthy connections & play. It started with #CoachMentor Dom filling in for teammate & new Coach, Katherine, instructing the Gr. 8 Wolverines & Strikerz in back-to-back games @ Kane Park. Coach Gio, of course, was there too, to instruct! Kind people from Dracut Soccer welcomed newest #CoachMentor & former player Brittanie, with her new Gr. 3 girls Lionesses. Coach Darvin took the field in Salem w/the Gr. 5 Rebels, while the Bulldogs were led again by long-time CoachMentor & former player, Melissa. #BeyondSoccer veteran Will was reunited with many springtime Gr. 6 Thunder players in Gloucester in a competitive bracket, while Coach Chando was home handling his new Gr. 4 Storm Team responsibilities. Director Chris led the new Gr. 3 Lions in Methuen, and Sadie, in Sadie fashion, led the Gr. 4 Jaguars @ home, with post-game popsicles and group 📷 w/ the opposing squad! #BeyondFamily #youthsports #happykids #healthykids #ECYSA #teameffort #LawrenceYouthSoccer ⚽️🏐🧡💙

#SaturdayShare of last night’s final Uniform Dis

#SaturdayShare of last night’s final Uniform Distribution/Open House event, the 2nd of the week, where families came to our space, got their uniforms, and learned more about us. It was great to see younger siblings and long-time families step in to help. 🧡

As most appreciate, the start of any sports season is exciting but marred with challenges related to tricky registration demands, field access issues, and other barriers related to resource inequities. But today--yes--with bumps, but not due to a lack of trying or caring, #LawrenceYouthSoccer is kicking off! The Wolverines were first up at 9:00 am, followed by the Strikerz! We’ll share updates, but thanks to all for being part of this #beyondfamily effort that tries so hard to make sports opportunities happen for everyone! #beyondfamily #sportsmatters #LawrenceMA #ECYSA #NBGivesBack#happykids #healthykids #youthsports ⚽️🏐🧡💙

It's been quiet on social media, but that’s because we’ve been busy with the required behind-the-scenes prep to ensure kids can play and represent their community in leagues through Lawrence Youth Soccer. Here's an anticipated #ThrowbackThursday 📷 of the girls Gr. 3 & 4 players from last night's 1st fall season ⚽️ practice... getting a “welcome back” pep talk from Director Chris at the John Kane Park. We love that the season started with the girls! Grades 5-8 players weren't pictured and Gr. Pk-2nd start next week! #GirlsInSports. The boys are up tonight, and if you’re a Lawrence family, there's still time to join travel and city leagues! #BeyondSoccer #BeyondVolley #youthsports #happykids #healthykids #teameffort #LawrenceMA 🧡💙

It’s #MotivationMonday, live from EveryonesAPlay

It’s #MotivationMonday, live from EveryonesAPlayer's annual golf tournament, which, as most know, is about helping the Lawrence sports community bounce back after Covid-19 & improve its sports offerings & opportunities, but through a team approach!

Here's some #Beyond team members on the tee for EAP & Lawrence sports. Yes, that’s Operations Manager Johnny, Director of Soccer, Chris Marin, Board Member, Attorney, long-time sports enthusiast Luke McArdle, and Attorney Jason, who, with Luke, also share space with Beyond at the Riverwalk Innovation HUB, that’s growing before our very eyes. Here’s to a great day of folks coming together to play and raise money for kids through sports! Go EAP! Go, Lawrence sports! Go Beyond! Go, Lawrence Sports Alliance! #youthsports #happykids #healthykids #teameffort ⚽️🏐⛳️🧡💙

#WeGotThisWednesday and yes, always #GoLawrence! This share by #CoachMentor and former longtime player Declan from tonight’s futsal session made us smile, especially as we fight to find enough fields, facilities, and resources to make sure Lawrence Youth Soccer can start according to plan next week! All hands-in 🎥's like this, with smiles after play and connection, is what it’s all about! #youthsports #healthykids #happykids #LawrenceMA #LawrenceYouthSoccer #BeyondSoccer #BeyondVolley ⚽️🏐🧡💙

#TeambuildingTuesday with an off-the-field-&-court

#TeambuildingTuesday with an off-the-field-&-court activity thanks to the wonderfully kind & talented @terbullinosonia. As part of our #SummerNights commitment, up to 20 student-athletes have been learning the art of crocheting in our #Riverwalk program space. Some may wonder how this “loops” into our sports programming. Not only does it get young people out of their comfort zones, but it teaches fine motor skills and promotes creativity, self-expression, and self-discipline. Hey, that reminds us of something…yes, sports!! Thank you for your time and care, Sonia and #team. We’re seeing many student-athletes gain confidence through their newly acquired skills. Some are even crocheting water 💧 bottle carriers!!

#MovingForwardMonday into fall planning mode after

#MovingForwardMonday into fall planning mode after the FT staffers enjoyed last week’s summer break. Recognizing that everyone needs time away to rest, reset and regroup, a handful of youth leaders stepped up to ensure #SummerNights sports benefits still continued for lots of kids last week. Here’s to a successful R&R week for organizational leadership and to this futsal opportunity that’s also being extended (weather permitting) another week to help Soccer Director, Chris, better transition into #LawrenceYouthSoccer mode, slated for a staggered start next week! #youthsports #notimeoff #yearroundbenefits #SBYD #happykids #healthykids #summersports #summerengagement #beyondsoccer #beyondvolley #teameffort ⚽️🏐🧡💙

#TwoCourtsThursday of Lawrence volleyball youth at the O'Connell S. Common tonight! We need a few more of these courts around the City, don't you think? These☀️pics are motivation that kids, during their non-school time, should be on fields and courts or engaged in other productive, enrichment activities! #youthsports #healthykids #happykids #playmatters #beyondsoccer #beyondvolley #lawrencema #summerenrichment #DCR #summernights ⚽️🏐🧡💙

It’s a #WinningWednesday when these high school

It’s a #WinningWednesday when these high school soccer players continue to show up for early morning skill work and fitness at #LHS through the efforts of the Lawrence Sports Alliance. We only planned on running the soccer portion for x3 days but when Soccer Director, Chris asked "who wants to extend the #LSLA2022 experience for a day 4?" despite sore legs and intense heat (esp. Mon & Tues. on turf) all 27 raised their hands and said they were #ALLIN! That’s music to our ears! Here’s to another day of connection, play, mentorship, and important sports camp memories! #TY to all involved. #youthsports #healthykids #happykids #playmatters #facilitiesmatter #summerengagement #teameffort
