Heroes United FC is a biweekly soccer camp specifically designed for individuals with Down Syndrome. The sessions last approximately 90 minutes and introduce basic soccer skills that will eventually be developed over the course of a season. Scrimmages will be held at the end of the session, giving the participants a chance to practice their new skills on the field with their friends. Superhero medals will be passed out to recognize players who showed super effort during the session!

Volunteers are assigned to each player to help them through the session with some serving as coaches that will lead the practice. There will be consistent hydration breaks to ensure all players and volunteers are drinking water and snacks will also be available.

Heroes United FC will serve as a strong community open to all individuals with Down Syndrome to unite together in their common love for soccer, and help each other grow their passion for the sport. During the program, they will make new friends that will join them along their journey to becoming soccer superstars. Whether it be through practice drills or running games, soccer is a great medium for participants to create new social connections and strengthen their physical health. We look forward to building a huge community of soccer fans dedicated to growing the game for others.
