After 2 years of school closures and online sessions, our students (and coaches!) are on the ground once again! The months of May and June were spent in ensuring that we hired the right coaches and that they were well trained. Coaches received 30 hours of coaching which, besides others, included the following topics: (1) Leadership Framework, Theory of Change and Logic Model (2) Experiential Learning and 6-year "leadership through football" curriculum (3) Just for Kicks Session structure and execution (4) Facilitation and classroom management (5) Student Assessments and differentiated coaching etc. Schools were onboarded and student sign-ups completed. Equipment was also purchased to ensure high quality session outcomes.
Today, 2500+ early adolescent girls across India are undergoing our Just for Kicks training. Your valuable contributions help support 500 of these girl footballers. One of our girls teams won the regional football league and is now representing their division in the Divisional Final League. Its is a proud moment for these young leaders! While becoming champions is not an ultimate goal, giving their best and working hard as a team are definetely what these girls are doing.
As one of their well-wishers aptly said "Forget the glass slippers, these princesses wear soccer cleats!". Your valued contributions are helping these young girls without the means realise that they too can dream and achieve them!
Thank you for your contiued support!
