The boy’s varsity soccer team along with the girls volleyball team recently teamed up to give the kids from no more sidelines a chance to learn about the game of soccer and then play a real soccer game!
On a recent Monday night in late August, when most kids were still on vacation, the Calvary Christian Schools Varsity teams gave dozens of physically and mentally challenged kids from all over Muskegon County
The event started with the kids breaking up into four groups. Each group spent time at four different stations, where they learned the basics of soccer like kicking, dribbling, and goal scoring. Students worked one on one with the kids to help them along and help them to get better at the game of soccer.
After spending time on the basics, the kids were divided into two teams and got to play a real soccer game. Everyone had a great time!
Following the games several “Calvary moms” donated food and time to serve dinner to all the kids and their families. Sloppy Joes, chips, fruit, and cookies were enjoyed by all! During this time kids from both Calvary and No More Sidelines had time to socialize and get to know each other better. We all made new friends that night and met a lot of new people.
The event was held to benefit the “special needs” kids in our area. But, as all the students who helped out will agree, we were the ones who really benefited from the whole night! It was a great time for a great group of kids of all ages!
