Our Program

A S N Y

HEALTH THROUGH SOCCER Our approach to soccer benefits students’ physical fitness and healthy habits, but also improves students’ conflict resolution and problem solving skills. The backbone of the America SCORES program is defined by a unique combination of soccer, poetry, and service-learning which inspires youth development by promoting fair play, self-expression, commitment, and teamwork.

THE POWER OF POETRY Poetry sessions throughout the Fall season provide poet-athletes with the opportunity to develop the four touchstones of language acquisition --reading, writing, speaking, and listening -- while teaching students positive modes of self-expression and communcation.
