TESTIMONIALS
"It was my first time playing on a team. It felt so good to score a goal!"
Jessica, age 11
"This league has given me a chance to play a sport that I love and meet new friends. I am working very hard and hope to play on the Paralympic National team someday."
Michael, age 13
"First of all, the NSCD Soccer Development Program provides a great opportunity; it promotes the soccer culture, provides awareness and gives these kids an opportunity to do something that they love. The program has been very beneficial to the future of the Paralympic National Team Program. I'm really excited for 2008-2012 because the NSCD Soccer Development Program has identified a very exciting group of players that will be moving on to the National Team at that point."
Jay Hoffman
Head Coach, US Paralympic Soccer National Team
