Sports can have a huge positive impact on kids. But lots of kids never get the chance to play on an organized team.
Fairfax County’s Community and Recreation Services is a great organization. Among other things, they offer many kids a chance to play team sports that otherwise would otherwise never get a chance. One such program is the Teen Center Soccer program. Games are at Patriot Park on Saturday nights from 7 pm to 9 pm.
Burke Athletic Club has been supporting the program. We’ve helped with pinnies for the kids, game balls, corner flags and that kind of stuff. I’ve been there each evening.
This past weekend, a good friend of mine who is a professional photographer came and took pictures of the kids. Kristina Hernandez donated her time and all of the pictures. You can see all of them here.
