Soccer for Autism and Special Needs

Embracing Every Star on the Field

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.

WHAT WE PROVIDE

Inclusive Classes

Tailored to accommodate a diverse range of abilities and needs, our sessions ensure that every athlete receives personal attention and support. 

Adaptive Gameplay

Understanding that each athlete is unique, we adapt our games and activities to maximize participation, engagement, and enjoyment for all players.

Experienced coaches

Our compassionate and skilled coaches are specially trained to work with athletes with adaptive needs, fostering a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Community Connection

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.

Why join our adaptive learning program?

Empowerment Through Sport

Soccer is more than a game; it's a tool for building confidence, self-esteem, social and personal development, and a sense of achievement.

Skill Development

Beyond soccer skills, athletes enhance their motor skills, social skills, and the ability to work as part of a team.

Safe & Supportive Environment

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.

Fun First

We believe in the power of play. Every session is designed to spark joy, laughter, and the love of the game.

INCLUSION Offerings:
SHINE SHADOWS

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.

Our Class Overview & Structure

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.
