Our Elementary program builds student’s confidence, academic engagement, and teamwork skills.
In addition to playing on a soccer team, students are taught how to read, write, and perform poetry through the Power of Poetry curriculum in the Fall and the Writing for the Community curriculum in the Spring.
During the fall season, elementary school soccer programs are supplemented with poetry instruction using our award-winning Power of Poetry curriculum. Students use poetry to share their personal experiences, read literary works from diverse authors, and gear up for their performance at the Poetry Slam in front of a packed audience.
