Are you interested in having your child involved in a team sport, developing social relationships and getting some exercise?  If your child is on the autism spectrum Just for Kicks may be right for you.

The East Islip Soccer Club is offering a program designed specifically for children on the Autism spectrum to promote an interest in soccer.  This program will provide the children with the opportunity to learn basic soccer skills while building self esteem and having fun.  Many children on the spectrum have sensory issues which may interfere with their ability to participate in a typical soccer setting.  In an effort to help the children feel more comfortable on the field, no other games or practices will take place on the adjacent fields, therefore eliminating distractions -- i.e. crowds of cheering people, game whistles, etc….

Just for Kicks is open to children between the ages of 5 and 14.  Each child will have at least one possible two instructors helping them along the way.  These instructors are between the ages of 12 and 20.
