Pennfield Soccer Program Proposal

Pennfield Soccer ClubWe are interested in starting a sports development program (soccer, netball) and for students in Grades 5-8 in this school. This program is a parent sponsored and school supported club that would provide students with a positive school related activity. It would also help to provide students with the skills necessary to compete in sports at the high school level. The benefits to students would be numerous, including: teamwork, improved self-esteem, motor-skill development, socialization and involvement in school related activities. These benefits could also translate into a greater level of success in high school sports for those wanting to compete at that level, whether at the varsity or junior varsity levels. The goal of this program is to provide student-athletes with every advantage to be successful, and to help them develop into well rounded, healthy adults. Without development opportunities, our players will be competing with a disadvantage, and be set-up for failure. Many students dont try-out for teams that constantly lose, and others dont try out simply because they havent developed the confidence or skills necessary to compete. This program can give them the skills they need, keep them involved in a school activity and often keep them out of more negative, idle, and destructive pursuits that they engage in after school hours. It is also the goal of this program to help keep kids involved in a sport while making the difficult transition from being a child into being a young adult. It is common knowledge that involvement in sports/activities can help keep at-risk youths from getting lost in the shuffle. It strengthens their self worth, and can help to make them feel more a part of the greater school community. As with all things, participation in any extracurricular school activities should include an expectation of reasonable school performance. This would also help give teachers and administrators additional leverage when trying to reach students that are participating in this program. Parental consent and teacher approval would be requirements for students wishing to be involved in this program. This program would encourage positive school behaviors, and also promote a healthy active lifestyle, something that is important to nurture at a younger age.

We look forward to the schools managements approval and support in building a better tomorrow by building the future leaders today.. Yours FaithfullySipho
