Soccer Plus powerfully contributes to the healthy development of young children. Soccer Plus not only develops physical skills in children, but also promotes cognitive, emotional, and social development. Children love the various fast moving activities that Soccer Plus offers, while parents appreciate its focus on supporting children’s healthy, age-appropriate development. Since 2001 when it was introduced, Soccer Plus has been offered at hundreds of child care centers and schools in Washington, DC, Las Vegas, Philadelphia, San Diego, and San Francisco.

Key benefits of Soccer Plus include:
  • Soccer Plus teaches children ages 5-14 skills such as concentration and perseverance that help them to succeed in school and stay out of trouble.
  • Soccer provides a positive outlet for children’s energy.
  • Children rapidly develop basic soccer skills through an enjoyable coaching approach that enhances self-esteem.
  • Youngsters learn a healthy, new approach to competition.

Soccer Plus was developed by Julie Scaffidi Trone, who is now serving as the Director of Training and Development for Soccer Plus. Mrs. Trone, a certified Physical Education Specialist, has taught and coached soccer to children ages 3-14 since 1991.
