The Senior Soccer Program, Upright City FC and the City of Miami Beach has officially kicked off

The Senior Soccer Program, in partnership with the City of Miami Beach and Upright City Football Club (Upright City FC), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, officially kicked off its second season at the North Shore Park (501 72nd St, Miami Beach, FL 33141). The program, which aims to provide seniors in the community with an inclusive and enjoyable way to stay active, was met with great enthusiasm and attendance from the senior population.

Through Upright City’s soccer development initiatives, the program offers free soccer training classes to seniors of all skill levels. The program hopes to enhance participants’ motor skills, build confidence, improve mental and physical health, foster friendships, bring out hidden talents, and create shared memories.

Playing soccer offers a range of health benefits, making it an ideal pastime for seniors.

It’s an enjoyable form of low-impact exercise that encourages seniors to get outside, stay active, and feel cared for and included. The program not only promotes physical activity but also provides a space for seniors to engage in a social activity, build a team culture, boost their spirits, and make new friends.

“We are proud to partner with the City of Miami Beach in launching the 2nd season of the Senior Soccer Program,” said Alex Avellanet, Founder of Upright City FC. “Our goal is to provide seniors in the community with a fun and engaging way to stay active, and we are thrilled to be making a positive impact on their health and well-being.” For more information about Upright City FC and the Senior Soccer Program, please visit www.uprightcityfc.org.
