At Shining Soccer Stars, we believe in the universal language of soccer — a sport for everyone, transcending all barriers. Our adaptive learning soccer program is dedicated to providing a supportive, inclusive, and joyful environment where athletes with adaptive needs such as ADD/ADHD, Autism, Down Syndrome, and PDD-NOS can thrive, develop, and, most importantly, have fun.
Tailored to accommodate a diverse range of abilities and needs, our sessions ensure that every athlete receives personal attention and support.
Understanding that each athlete is unique, we adapt our games and activities to maximize participation, engagement, and enjoyment for all players.
Our compassionate and skilled coaches are specially trained to work with athletes with adaptive needs, fostering a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Be part of a nurturing community of professional coaches, families, caregivers, and volunteers, all united by the love of soccer and the joy it brings.
Soccer is more than a game; it's a tool for building confidence, self-esteem, social and personal development, and a sense of achievement.
Beyond soccer skills, athletes enhance their motor skills, social skills, and the ability to work as part of a team.
Our priority is creating a safe space where athletes of all ages can express themselves freely, make new friends, and be part of a team.
We believe in the power of play. Every session is designed to spark joy, laughter, and the love of the game.
Our Shine Shadows work in a 1:1 ratio to support children with special needs in our classes. They provide assistance with engagement, facilitation, and physical activities. The goal is to start with hands-on help and gradually transition to independent support. Our aim is to eventually phase out the Shine Shadow as the child progresses. In our inclusive environment, children can learn from others and improve their skills, self-esteem, and socialization.
Classes focus on simplifying soccer into specific components. Athletes work together to build new skills in a fun, non-competitive, and educational environment. Each class follows a structured sequence of engaging individual and team-based activities. Coaches use specific tools and techniques, including picture schedules, cheers, and repetition, to reinforce communication, aid in transition, and increase task completion.
