Free Soccer Clinics for Kids with ADHD and Asperger's

The Orion School is sponsoring free drop-in Soccer
Clinics for children ages 5-13 who need a more supportive option to experience success.

Typical participants have neurobehavioral conditions
including ADHD, Asperger's and anxiety. The goal is to offer an opportunity for a low stress alternative to traditional soccer leagues. Self confidence is built through participation in a recreational sport. Children can participate on their own terms.

The mornings also give parents a chance to just relax and connect with other supportive families.

At least one adult needs to stay and siblings are welcome
to join the fun. Healthy snacks and drinks (water) are a welcome addition!

The coaches for the clinic are Orion School educators with a lifetime of experience playing and coaching soccer & team sports. The last morning has an awards ceremony for all participants...regardless of how many
mornings attended.
