Season’s Greetings from North Shore Youth Council

NSYC hosted Soccer Shots at our School Aged Child Care Programs for the month of November.

Soccer Shots programs are filled with games and activities that are age appropriate and designed to keep kids moving. Soccer Shots helps children,

through soccer, to develop important character traits and self confidence while being introduced to the skills needed to play the game.
