#PLAYFOR8 MENTORING PROGRAM
Parkland soccer club creates opportunitIes for players to learn from each other
Parkland Soccer Club successfully launched its Play for 8 Mentoring program for all of our players.
We had great success with this initiative when we did it in the girls program in previous years, we are excited to now expand it to all of our players.
In partnership with Make Our Schools Safe, this program pairs older players "Bigs" with younger players "Littles" to help expand relationships and give our older players an opportunity to mentor and help their littles. Our expectation is that the bond created through this program helps our players learn about:
Working together
Problem solving
The value of being good listeners and supporters of each other.
We look for these interactions to expand beyond the soccer field, so that it is not only related to soccer training but also an opportunity for school activities, like tutoring, and other extracurricular activities, etc.
