SFL In the News: Students Get a Kick Out of STEM
REGION — Several times a week, coaches hit the field at three North County elementary schools to provide lunch and after-school programs.
The catch, or the kick, is the coaches use soccer as a tool to reinforce STEM (Science, Techonology, Engineering and Math) on the field.
The soccer-based education program is the brainchild of Nick Telford, an Irishman who grew up loving the sport. He connected with University of Arizona engineering professor Ricardo Valerdi, who delivered such programs for the Los Angeles Galaxy of Major League Soccer and five Major League Baseball clubs.
