Ashley Park Soccer Clinics

Date Posted: 4/16/2015



"Creative Player Sports Foundation's partnership with Ashley Park Pre K-8 has had a huge impact on my students," says Emily Jukich, teacher and former Virginia Tech and All-ACC women's soccer player.  This partnership has provided my students with connections to people, opportunities, and experiences they may not have previously had.  Creative Player Futbol Learning System provides weekly coaching and skills clinics, teaching scholars the fundamental skills of soccer, sportsmanship, and teamwork.  Students have increased not only the development of important soccer skills but also leadership skills through the partnership with Creative Player Futbol.

The students who participate in the Ashley Park Soccer Club are receiving the support they need to increase their physical fitness level and develop a greater sense of confidence and identity.  I know firsthand the impact that a positive team atmosphere, coaching, and mentoring can have on an individual and this same opportunity is now being offered to my students through the soccer club and weekly training.  I am so grateful for the partnership we have created with Coach John and  Coach Daniel and we are looking forward to continuing and growing our partnership.
