The West Palm Beach VIP program provides a quality soccer experience for children (ages 5-15) with special needs that make it difficult to successfully participate on mainstream sports teams. VIP teams include those that are blind or visually impaired, have impaired mobility, are mentally or emotionally challenged, have autistim, Down syndrome or Cerebral Palsy.
We encourage all our VIP players to have fun, to learn what they can absorb about teamwork and fair play, to increase their self esteem, become more physically fit and to meet and be comfortable with new people.
The VIP players are escorted on the field by buddies. Buddies become mentors and help guide the VIP players on the field during their session. Some buddies become lifelong friends.
Our goal is that the VIP program helps more than just the players. Buddies and other volunteers increase their appreciation and understanding of individuals with various challenges and special needs. They will find their lives will be greatly enriched by their involvement with their new friends in the VIP program.
The registration fee is $50.00 and it includes the uniform and insurance.
Registration will be January 30th 10:00 am to 1:00pm
Soccer sessions will be on Saturdays, beginning February 20th and ending March 27, 2010 from 10:00 a.m. to 11:15 a.m.
Please call the rainout hotline before coming out to the fields every
Saturday: 561-642-2520.
