We have been involved with SCORES since 2003 when it was relatively new. We visited a school where we saw a new turf field and the students energetically participating in a well-organized soccer practice run by SCORES coaches. We saw a poetry presentation by some of the students that was so very inspiring. The growth and quality of the programs is a result of its leadership, the board of directors, staff, and the front-line coach-mentors. SCORES has achieved significant milestones and will continue to grow.
Childhood Has No Second Chances
