Today we kickoff the beginning of our Spring Program! For the next 1o weeks our poet-athletes will be working on their soccer skills and learning about the importance of their community and how they can become involved in it through the service-learning component of our program.
If you were ever wondering how our program impacts our students, please read the testimonals we have received from coaches, teachers, and parents!
- America Scores Denver impacts our students and community in many positive ways. It is an enrichment program that has become integral to our students’ education and school experience. It also brings families together to support students at soccer games and listen to the poetry readings.
- My daughter went to the doctor a few times before joining America SCORES Denver and the doctor said that she was overweight. This year we went in and the doctor said she's doing great. Her weight is perfect, so physical activity and exercise has definitely helped.
- One third grader was very shy. She has now grown in confidence with the help of her teammates and is exceptionally proud of her involvement in the team.
- Because of America SCORES Denver my son has definitely committed himself to studying more, and his academics have been stronger because of it! America SCORES Denver provides a great collaborative atmosphere.
- In America SCORES Denver my daughter has learned about commitment. She knows she has to be at practice on time and that she has to commit herself to school to get somewhere in life.
- One child has only the worst examples as role models –belonging to a team, following a code of sportsmanship (rules of the game), meeting and working towards common goals has made this child smile.
- SCORES students become classroom leaders willing to try new things.
- In America SCORES Denver my daughter has learned about teamwork both on and off the field. She follows through and I have seen her grow each season even in her school/homework.
- One of the players had been attending school since kindergarten and he is now in 4th grade. The whole time he was in ELS (Spanish only). But since being on the team, playing & writing, his English has improved dramatically
- My daughter lives for America SCORES Denver. She just lives for it.”
