Soccer program - the soccer program is lead by Scores coach-mentors in the afterschool hours and on weekends. Both girls and boys engage in regular physical activity and learn about nutrition, teamwork, sportsmanship, and commitment. Our team-based approach instills camaraderie both on and off the field and supports whole child development through mentorship and team play. Scores provides all the equipment, curricula, and organizes weekly game days for participants and family members.

Middle school and club teams programs - the middle school and club team program engages students in soccer and enrichment activities beyone the elementary school ages.

Writing workshops - the writing program has two main focus areas: poetry and service learning. The writing program is led by Scores coach-mentors who help participants gain confidence in self-expression, writing, and public speaking.

The writing program meets one to two times per week and features special events like poetry slams, poetry contests, and celebrations of service-learning projects.
