Somerville Youth Soccer is proud to host the Third Annual Won World Soccer Camp, which is a one-week event that not only develops soccer skills but provides the opportunity for immersion of different language, geographical and cultural concepts that promote a diverse experience for underrepresented youth in the Somerville community entering Grades 1-4 this Fall.
Combining expert soccer training from college and high school coaches & players, Won World will also introduce participants to new academic and cultural experiences that help facilitate a sense of community. It’s not just about playing the game of soccer—we’re looking to help kids begin to play the game of life!
Activities that include basic language skills, storytelling, drawing and learning about other countries help promote a diverse background that will serve all attendees well. Studies in academic settings show that sports-based programs foster a sense of belonging. Kids who feel part of a community are more likely to participate in athletics and educational programs as they grow. That’s our mission.
