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.

Indoor shoes & shinguards are required!

(The sessions are free of charge to all TYSL registered members & THS students)
