Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

The equipment that I am requesting is to be used to help students learn the basics of soccer, develop work out/practice routines that students can follow at home.

Providing students an opportunity to play soccer they can find a passion through a sport that promotes, routines, perseverance, team work and communication.

In recent years, student interpersonal skills have seen a decline. Students, are digitally connected, but often struggle to work alongside one another. Soccer, will provide students the opportunity to teach students the importance of developing a routine, persevering through challenges whether it's on or off the pitch. While helping students develop a passion for soccer is a plus, the skills, both personal and interpersonal will have immeasurable affects on student mental health by helping them advocate for support and have positive outlets to help them express themselves.
