“The program was absolutely amazing! The coaches were so easy to work with, very approachable and the kids loved working with them every Friday, rain or shine. They made soccer easy to understand and encouraged the kids to become active outdoors.”
“Since introducing the lunchtime program, disciplinary referrals decreased by 79 percent. Frank West Elementary has logged just three referrals this year…nobody has been suspended.”
“The Sports For Learning program at lunch has been very successful at my school. Students are very engaged with the coaches during their scheduled soccer time and enjoy the STEM games that they play. Our behavior problems on the playground have lessened during our time with the Sports For Learning program.”
“Our students really enjoyed the soccer program and looked forward to their scheduled days. For the school site, it was a huge benefit to our behavior management (PBIS) in that it provided structured and supervised activities for our at-risk students.”
Sports the winning combination
The Sports For Learning curriculum integrates Sports, STEM, and PBIS, giving both students and teachers a fresh perspective on learning and education. The goal of our curriculum is to use sports as a vehicle to educate students academically, socially and emotionally.
