Notes

Eagle Mount's soccer program is designed so that any individual with a disability is capable of participating. Adaptations are made for people in wheelchairs or using other mobility aids. Both fall and spring soccer are played. During each session, there is practice one day each week, and a game one-day each week. Participants play games against, and practice with, each other. There are many benefits to the participants. Each player learns the basics of playing soccer as well as learning how to work and play as a team. Increases in flexibility, strength, coordination and balance are seen in the participants. Also, improved metal status results from the physical activity and socialization with their peers facing similar challenges in life.
