CiTY offers a FREE program for children with physical, intellectual and emotional disabilities to learn soccer skills in a safe and supportive environment. Our goal is to enable young athletes with disabilities to become valued and successful members of the Ellicott City Soccer family.
Each special needs participant will have a CiTY volunteer mentor during the clinic. Mentors will help players learn soccer skills and play in modified soccer games while having fun!
Junior mentors aged 10-13 are welcome, and will likely be paired with an older teen or adult to work with a special needs player.

Please share this email and information with friends and neighbors in the community that would like to get involved as a volunteer in the CiTY Special Needs Program!
