Finley has "classic" autism and we have worked so hard to give him confidence in his life, since many children with autism struggle with anxiety. Soccer Shots makes him feel like he's on top of the world. It gives him confidence, while playing and working within boundaries. He loves making goals, and I know that will translate to other goals in his life as he grows. He's also getting to the stage in life where he is beginning to see he is different from typical children. Soccer is a game that bridges the differences, and it gives him something in common with typical children. Thank you for all you do!" -Sarah B., Parent If you have additional questions, please reach out to Youth Program Coordinators at youthenrichment@farmington.k12.mn.us or call 651-460-3200.
