Pennfield Soccer Club

We are interested in starting a sports development program (soccer, netball) and for
students in Grades 5-8 in this school. This program is a parent sponsored and school
supported club that would provide students with a positive school related activity. It
would also help to provide students with the skills necessary to compete in sports at the
high school level. The benefits to students would be numerous, including: teamwork,
improved self-esteem, motor-skill development, socialization and involvement in school
related activities. These benefits could also translate into a greater level of success in
high school sports for those wanting to compete at that level, whether at the varsity or
junior varsity levels.
The goal of this program is to provide student-athletes with every advantage to be
successful, and to help them develop into well rounded, healthy adults. Without
development opportunities, our players will be competing with a disadvantage, and be
set-up for failure. Many students dont try-out for teams that constantly lose, and others
dont try out simply because they havent developed the confidence or skills necessary to
compete. This program can give them the skills they need, keep them involved in a
school activity and often keep them out of more negative, idle, and destructive pursuits
that they engage in after school hours.
It is also the goal of this program to help keep kids involved in a sport while making the
difficult transition from being a child into being a young adult. It is common knowledge
that involvement in sports/activities can help keep at-risk youths from getting lost in the
shuffle. It strengthens their self worth, and can help to make them feel more a part of the
greater school community. As with all things, participation in any extracurricular school
activities should include an expectation of reasonable school performance. This would
also help give teachers and administrators additional leverage when trying to reach
students that are participating in this program. Parental consent and teacher approval
would be requirements for students wishing to be involved in this program. This
program would encourage positive school behaviors, and also promote a healthy active
lifestyle, something that is important to nurture at a younger age.
We look forward to the schools managements approval and support in building a better
tomorrow by building the future leaders today..
