In the spring of 2008 Jerry Hannah, coach and volunteer from Nanaimo Youth Soccer began a program for soccer players with special needs. Just for Kicks is a program dedicated to children with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities that allows them to explore the sport of soccer.The goal of the clinic is to provide the opportunity for these players to learn some soccer skills, make friends and to participate in an activity with their peers.
Each clinic runs Friday afternoons for 8 weeks, spring and fall outdoors, and a winter session indoors. The clinics are dependent on the support of youth and adult volunteers working with the players. If you are interested in participating, volunteering or sponsoring come check it out, or contact us at justforkicks@nanaimosoccer.ca.
