“My favorite part of the training was the inclusion of mental health. It is often overlooked and not included in curriculum when working with kids but it is actually one of the most important areas to teach. Especially when they are at that young age. Was great to see that included in an age-appropriate way that is easy to teach through this curriculum.”

“The videos gave great information and the interactive questions were my favorite to check for understanding.”

Jordan

"I wanted to express my sincere appreciation to the U.S. Soccer Foundation for providing our district's physical education and health staff with great technical training and donating soccer balls for each of our buildings to be able to use with their students. The training was engaging and purposeful, leaving our teachers with a series of progressive skills which they can utilize in their various courses."

"After our soccer unit Jimmy came and told me, 'I signed up for soccer this summer because I loved soccer in PE.' I also had students asking for soccer balls on the playground during and after our unit. The lessons were engaging and students were excited."

Jenny

"The training was a big success! Teachers appreciated the opportunity to attend an in-person training session with U.S. Soccer Foundation. The facilitators were engaging and informative during their presentation. Both offered teaching strategies during the skills and activity portion of their presentation. They answered teachers' questions and gave them space to offer each other advice or strategies to the whole group."

Brad

"Being new to teaching soccer in schools, I really appreciate the interest level in the activities. I went back to my school and used them with my kids. They loved them! High interest level with kids is so important."

Bonnie

"The training last week was amazing! Thank you so much for the opportunity to learn and grow with you. The coaches were very satisfied and can't wait to do it again."

Erica

"I loved the activities that were shown that didn't require a ton of soccer balls. They still had students contrast moving without the need for a soccer ball for all."

Mitch

"As a PE teacher I greatly appreciate what you taught us and the equipment. On a side note, quite a few teachers in my building asked me what was going on as the participants were smiling and happy as they were leaving."
