It is the goal of the "Soccer in the Park" & "Soccer After Dark" youth programs to use soccer as a vehicle for positive change in the lives of youth throughout northern New Mexico.

The "Soccer in the Park" & "Soccer After Dark" programs combine both soccer instruction and life skills education. Activities help the youth in our community come into a greater awareness of their physical being, self-expression and creative reasoning. Youth are also encouraged to make healthy life choices for their futures while at the same time feeling a sense of community.

Many of the area youth come from disadvantaged situations due to a complex variety of social and economic factors. The "Soccer in the Park" & "Soccer After Dark" youth programs help to fill the gap where there is a lack of access to quality sport and educational opportunities. The sessions are free of charge to all TYSL registered members & THS students. For more information contact Michael Hensley @ 770-6038

KATLIN OKAMOTO: SOCCER WITHOUT BORDERS
Katlin Okamoto has started the Soccer without Borders Girls Program. Katlin, who is a recent graduate of Colorado College in Colorado Springs, Colorado is an accomplished soccer player and student. She was the captain of the Colorado College Women’s team and helped guide them to the NCAA tournament last year for the first time in more then a decade. She also excelled off the field where she was an honor roll student majoring in Biology and Asian Studies. Katlin, a native of Taos, New Mexico, joins the Soccer Without Borders team as the Director of Girls Programs and is currently in the process of designing a progam that will promote girls involvement in soccer as well as encouraging self-esteem, leadership and healthy choices amongst participants. “I am looking forward to promoting girls involvement in sports in a way that respects cultural practices and is sustainable for the future." says Okamoto.
