6:51
Speaker 4: Lydia actually amazing with. Everybody so, typically, Uh zane's been our. Floater,
6:57
Speaker 4: okay he starts out often with one. Kiddo most of
7:04
Speaker 4: our buddies are paired with one person through the whole. Season.
7:07
Speaker 4: Yeah And zay has worked With lydia his own, sister,
7:11
Speaker 4: yes but we try not to have him work with. Her,
7:14
Speaker 4: right you need a, break so.
7:15
Speaker 3: We, basically so what is, THIS i Mean i've HAD
7:18
Speaker 3: i Had john about a year ago we were talking about.
7:20
Speaker 3: This this is a soccer league for folks with, disabilities,
7:24
Speaker 3: Right so it's.
7:25
Speaker 4: The outreach program for soccer and it's a nationwide. Program
7:30
Speaker 4: The vermont area has currently Two we had three, programs
7:35
Speaker 4: but right now it's only got, Two.
7:37
Speaker 3: Okay and it's a for the whole.
7:39
Speaker 4: State yeah, Wow but LIKE i, said it's, nationwide so
7:44
Speaker 4: there's tons of programs out. There you can go On
7:47
Speaker 4: Soccer association website and you can look more into what
7:50
Speaker 4: our programs do in the, state but they also have
7:52
Speaker 4: a link to the national. Programs. Okay so we work
7:56
Speaker 4: with students that have like diverse abilities or just need
7:59
Speaker 4: like that alternative of. Setting and it's a soccer program
8:02
Speaker 4: that meets their individual. Needs so in our, program we
8:05
Speaker 4: work on like a group, skill but then also they
8:08
Speaker 4: have one on one buddy. Situation so if they maybe
8:12
Speaker 4: can do the group, work but they need somebody to
8:15
Speaker 4: help them with, mobility or they need somebody to help
8:19
Speaker 4: them like take the directions and give them wording in
8:23
Speaker 4: a different, way they can do. That but then we
8:25
Speaker 4: also separate into individual. Skills so we did a group
8:29
Speaker 4: game where we all were kicking our soccer balls at
8:31
Speaker 4: a giant yoga. Ball we call it monster. Ball it's their,
8:33
Speaker 4: favorite and so we did monster ball and that was
8:36
Speaker 4: like our warm. Up then it's time to work on
8:39
Speaker 4: individual skills and we'll have stations set up and each
8:42
Speaker 4: student has their own individual goals and maybe like For,
8:44
Speaker 4: lydia her first year was stopping the. Ball we had
8:49
Speaker 4: a hard time working on stopping the, ball so we
8:50
Speaker 4: switched it and she loves. Bubbles we blue. Bubbles she
8:53
Speaker 4: had to stomp on the bubbles and then we slowly
8:56
Speaker 4: faded the bubbles out and she had to stomp on the.
8:58
Speaker 4: Ball and so then she worked on stopping the ball
9:00
Speaker 4: a Great now we're working on moving the ball to
9:02
Speaker 4: her foot from somebody else and then she stops on
9:04
Speaker 4: the ball, then and so it's really just building upon
9:06
Speaker 4: their own individual. Skills. Wow and then we ended again
9:09
Speaker 4: with another group. Game and last year's last two years
9:12
Speaker 4: we borrowed a parachute From Barry City Elementary, school and
9:15
Speaker 4: last year we bought our own with some of the
9:17
Speaker 4: funds that we'd, raised and so we ended with parachute
9:20
Speaker 4: games and they love. It sure doesn't love the, Parachute i'm.
9:23
Speaker 3: Sure. So august is the kind of the. Registration august
9:29
Speaker 3: is registration both for participants and. Volunteers, right we like to.
9:35
Speaker 4: Try to get our buddies. Situated we start In. August
9:39
Speaker 4: if people want to reach out through email or Our facebook,
9:42
Speaker 4: page we can start putting them on the list. Now,
9:46
Speaker 4: okay but we know that things change over the summer.
9:48
Speaker 4: Unexpectedly but we want to try to get our list
9:50
Speaker 4: of buddies going because last year we had exactly twelve
9:54
Speaker 4: athletes and twelve, buddies and that makes it tricky because
9:59
Speaker 4: some kids do need two buddies with, them, sure and
10:03
Speaker 4: if there's only twelve buddies and we have one or
10:05
Speaker 4: two kids that need two, people that's.
10:08
Speaker 3: Not, enough, Right and if somebody has something that at
10:13
Speaker 3: the last minute prevents them from being. There that really
10:17
Speaker 3: affects the, player, Right AND i Mean i'm saying twelve.
10:21
Speaker 4: Buddies that does not include myself as the coach and
10:24
Speaker 4: coordinator or my sister who's also a. Coordinator but my
10:29
Speaker 4: job is to ensure that individualized plans are happening throughout the.
10:33
Speaker 4: Program and also if there is something that's struggling or
10:38
Speaker 4: somebody it just needs a little bit of extra help
10:39
Speaker 4: and they're not confident in how they should be implementing
10:41
Speaker 4: something with their student or buddy, Partner, YEAH i can
10:45
Speaker 4: go help with that Unless i'm tied to somebody, else
10:47
Speaker 4: and that makes it more.
10:48
Speaker 3: Tricky when does this top soccer program actually? BEGIN i
10:53
Speaker 3: think It's, september isn't.
10:55
Speaker 4: It, yep it's the first weekend After Labor. Day typically
10:58
Speaker 4: we go for six, weeks Every sunday from eleven to
11:01
Speaker 4: twelve for the. Athletes we ask that buddies get there
11:04
Speaker 4: around ten fifteen because we start setting up the field
11:07
Speaker 4: and we try to meet and go over what the
11:08
Speaker 4: plan for the day. Is we have like a very,
11:10
Speaker 4: flexible loose schedule because not everybody's going to go along
11:13
Speaker 4: with the. Plan we try to go with the, flow
11:16
Speaker 4: but we do have a schedule we try to stick.
11:17
Speaker 4: To but LIKE i, said It's sundays from eleven to.
11:22
Speaker 4: Twelve everybody gets community service that comes if you come
11:26
Speaker 4: for ten to twelve or ten to twelve, thirty you're
11:29
Speaker 4: getting those. Hours and we learned recently that everybody it's
11:35
Speaker 4: in high school beginning especially in twenty twenty, seven is
11:39
Speaker 4: going to be required to have forty hours of community
11:41
Speaker 4: service throughout the state to. Graduate they're trying to make
11:44
Speaker 4: a standard across the states that if you move from
11:45
Speaker 4: like one town to the, next it's not. Confusing so
11:48
Speaker 4: everybody didn't know, This, yeah they just we had a
11:51
Speaker 4: see a freshman orientation night At spaulding With zane and
11:56
Speaker 4: the guidance. Counselor in, principle let everybody know that that's
11:59
Speaker 4: going to be the standard for graduating high, schoolers that
12:03
Speaker 4: they're going to have a one size fits all so
12:06
Speaker 4: that you're not confused when you transfer from school to.
12:08
Speaker 4: School that's.
12:10
Speaker 3: Fantastic it's an easy.
12:11
Speaker 4: Way to get your hours in and have some. Fun oh,
12:14
Speaker 4: yeah AND i mean you're playing Red, Light Green. Light,
12:18
Speaker 4: yeah we're going under the. Parachute, sure you're taking a
12:22
Speaker 4: lot of these kiddos can't play for the straight. Hour
12:24
Speaker 4: some of them. Can thanes play with a few that,
12:26
Speaker 4: can but they need, breaks and sometimes you're just walking.
12:31
Speaker 4: Around maybe you're playing bubbles for five minutes in between them.
12:33
Speaker 3: Activity do we actually get To i'm guessing that we
12:37
Speaker 3: get to a point where we're actually playing. Soccer we're
12:40
Speaker 3: doing a scrimmage or.
12:41
Speaker 4: Something some of, them some of the. Kids it depends
12:44
Speaker 4: on the demographic of students that we.
12:46
Speaker 1: Have so.
12:49
Speaker 4: Was it last year you had one or two students
12:51
Speaker 4: that were playing small sided scrimmage, Games and then we've
12:56
Speaker 4: had kids where maybe not already recognizes their name or
13:01
Speaker 4: is not as interested in, butterflies so maybe they're playing
13:05
Speaker 4: a different kind of structured. Game it's not necessarily like
13:09
Speaker 4: a soccer scrimmage until you like you're looking at, it
13:12
Speaker 4: removing yourself and you're, Like, okay they actually are playing.
13:15
Speaker 4: Something but you're there for, them and you're there to
13:20
Speaker 4: show them that they are part of. Something everybody gets.

13:44
Speaker 4: Same so this is their current jerseys and last year

13:52
Speaker 2: Wow.

16:02
Speaker 3: Year do you are you guys looking for any other
16:05
Speaker 3: folks in the community that can volunteer their time in
16:09
Speaker 3: any kind of special way like, this oh.
16:12
Speaker 4: Anything we definitely need people to be able to come On.
16:16
Speaker 4: Sundays we need more buddies and LIKE i, said we
16:19
Speaker 4: can have. Anybody you don't have to have soccer. Experience
16:22
Speaker 4: that was my next.
16:23
Speaker 3: Question how much of a pro do you have to
16:25
Speaker 3: be with soccer no.
16:26
Speaker 4: Soccer experience we. Have we've had like people from the
16:29
Speaker 4: community be, Like i'm just somebody's, grandpa not a grandpa,
16:32
Speaker 4: here BUT i want to. Help AND i was, like
16:34
Speaker 4: please come hang. Out we've had people that say that
16:38
Speaker 4: they had heard about, us they weren't sure how they could,
16:41
Speaker 4: help But i'm here, anyway and we're, like, great if
16:44
Speaker 4: you can come Every, sunday that's. Wonderful AND i say
16:47
Speaker 4: Every sunday, because LIKE i was mentioning, before these students
16:51
Speaker 4: are paired with their buddy for the full. Season, yeah
16:55
Speaker 4: and the consistency with them is.
16:57
Speaker 3: Key so, yeah this is you've got to really commit to.
17:03
Speaker 3: This this isn't something where you show up every now
17:06
Speaker 3: and then if you feel like, it because they're relying
17:11
Speaker 3: big time on, you and it can kind of throw
17:15
Speaker 3: them way way out of gear if you're a no.
17:18
Speaker 4: Show and the goal is to have their parents on
17:21
Speaker 4: the sideline like any other sports team, Would so their
17:25
Speaker 4: parents are coming anticipating their student having a soccer practice
17:30
Speaker 4: while they hang on the sidelines with the other parents
17:32
Speaker 4: and they chat and they have like their water bottles
17:35
Speaker 4: and they just observe and they get there without the
17:39
Speaker 4: buddy being. There and sometimes it's, Hey i'm going to
17:43
Speaker 4: be out of town next, weekend and we can plan
17:44
Speaker 4: ahead for that once in a, while it's. Fine but
17:49
Speaker 4: if it's unexpected and we didn't give the parents a heads, up,
17:52
Speaker 4: right they might show and not have prepared their, student
17:57
Speaker 4: and then it's no longer relaxing and no longer fun for. Anybody,
18:01
Speaker 4: sure and that's when it becomes a little bit more.
18:04
Speaker 3: Difficult i've just shown some of the some of the
18:08
Speaker 3: photos of what's what's happening the magic that that happens
18:13
Speaker 3: up at The Berrytown Recreation.
18:16
Speaker 4: Field, yeah it's on the field with the track all
18:18

Speaker 3: sister is, autistic, Right, yeah so this isn't anything that's
19:07

19:38
Speaker 4: okay but then there's like The Capitol Soccer club or
19:43
Speaker 4: some of the other soccers that do happen On. Sundays,
19:46
Speaker 4: sure so they have, conflicts they can't make it for
19:51
Speaker 4: that time. Frame, yeah but we have Had last year
19:54
Speaker 4: we had some of the high school soccer players That
19:56
Speaker 4: zane had known from previous. Times. Like, sure but it's
20:02
Speaker 4: kind of fun to watch they teach older students how
20:06
Speaker 4: to work with kiddos like.
20:10
Speaker 3: This what's the cost for something like, this Because.
20:12
Speaker 4: Sandra, so we have a registration fee of twenty five
20:16
Speaker 4: dollars and that helps to pay for the shirts and
20:19
Speaker 4: we do have to pay for insurance for the. Kids,
20:21
Speaker 4: sure but if there is ever like a hardship when
20:26
Speaker 4: they do, registration there's a link on there for a scholarship.
20:30
Speaker 3: And how do you do? That what's the? Registration so on.
20:35
Speaker 4: Our facebook, page typically we will post and share when
20:39
Speaker 4: the registration link is open okay yet not, yet and
20:43
Speaker 4: we will have information on. That we will typically be
20:47
Speaker 4: at the we'll be at The Heritage. Festival we'll have
20:49
Speaker 4: a poster And i'll have A qr code on it
20:51
Speaker 4: as well for the registration, link and there'll be a
20:55
Speaker 4: link it's like got sport or. Something is the website
20:57
Speaker 4: that they do it, through and it'll have you sign
21:01
Speaker 4: up your, Player you'll register with them and then it'll
21:04
Speaker 4: go to our headquarter website and that's when they'll put
21:07
Speaker 4: them in the, system ensure that they have the insurance
21:09
Speaker 4: on the, player all of that.
21:11
Speaker 3: Information the other QUESTION i was going to ask, you
21:14
Speaker 3: And i'm seeing it right. Here IT'S k through.
21:17
Speaker 4: Eight, yes so typically a top soccer program GOES k through.
21:25
Speaker 4: Eighteen but because the buddy volunteers we typically get have
21:31
Speaker 4: been on the younger, side, yep we've tried to keep
21:35
Speaker 4: IT k through eight for now until we can establish
21:37
Speaker 4: a bigger pool of. Buddies, sure if you, student if
21:42
Speaker 4: you have a player that wants to come and they're
21:45
Speaker 4: above THAT k through eight, range get a hold of.
21:48
