Junior SCORES
Grades K–2
Little Poet-Athletes. Limitless potential.
Schedule: January to March, two days a week, each with a writing practice and a soccer practice
Structure: The Junior SCORES program is designed to meet the physical & academic development needs for grades K–2
Writing: Playing with Poetry
Using age-appropriate poetry, this curriculum builds fundamental reading and writing skills, such as blending sounds, using inference from text and identifying speaker and theme.
Soccer: Getting Active Early
The Soccer Coach Manual K-2 combines small-sided games and soccer activities to keep practice moving, safe and fun, and to create on-the-go health knowledge.
Highlight: Junior Jamboree!
Poet-Athletes showcase their new skills as school teams play each other, poetry is performed and homemade medals are exchanged. When possible, we involve our community partners focused on early literacy and movement.
