The SoccerPlus Education Center is a Connecticut-based 501-c-3 non-profit service organization. SoccerPlus Education Center strives to develop not only better soccer players, but better citizens. This is achieved through educational programs, seminars, community outreach events and individual mentoring on and off the soccer field. We use not only our outstanding coaches but also the players of SoccerPlus CT Reds as role models. SoccerPlus uses the game of soccer to facilitate character development. With the Reds players we have a unique opportunity to promote essential life values such as team work, leadership, and healthy living to the young people of our community.

Programs:

EDUCATION CENTER PRESENTATIONS - Educational Seminars put on September through May of each year. Open to the public free of charge. Topics include life skills, leadership, nutrition, improving performance, basic financial skills, college, etc.

Kick Back Prgram - Collects new and used soccer apparel and equipment, recycles that equipment to programs or individuals in need.

Club Outreach Program - Program takes youth soccer players out into the community to interact with those less fortunate through participation in soccer clinics and presentations.

These players then provide role models for young kids by sharing their experiences, talking about the values of sports (teamwork, leadership, hard work, etc),explain the benefits of being active.
