The Albertson Kickers special needs soccer program that was launched last Spring has been a huge success so far. An article came out in the Woodbury magazine entitled "Heroes of Autism” and the article talks about our program, as well as other special needs sports programs in the community.
The Woodbury magazine “Ball for Autism” will be honoring our peer mentors involved in the program on Friday, April 27th at Ultimate 575 in Syosset. Most are past or current Albertson Soccer Club kids who have spent hours volunteering as peer mentors in our program. Our thanks as a club should go out to those special mentors. If anyone is interested in attending the event can call 516-367-4600 or email lorihason@gmail.com
The program starts again on April 14th and we can use some additional adult volunteers on the field. Our program runs from 11:00 to 11:45 on Saturday mornings at the East Hills Park. Please let Rich Rebetti (rrebetti@gmail.com) know if you would be interested in getting involved.
If you know any special needs families, please let them know about our program.
