With support from Jumpstart, the Somali Youth League Society in Calgary Start again recently a powerful soccer training sessions for local children and youths. It wasn’t just about drills or scoring goals — it was about building confidence, teamwork, and connection. For many of the kids, it was their first chance to wear cleats, run drills, and feel part of something bigger. The energy on the field was real — laughter, focus, and a lot of sweat. Programs like these, backed by Jumpstart, are giving our youth the chance to grow on and off the field. Thank you for helping make moments like this possible.
With the soccer program, we develop kids at all skill levels of the game. Mainly, focusing on fundamentals such as passing, ball control, and shooting. We have 3 coaches who have played soccer in the past at high levels and they are willing to put in the effort to get these kids playing at a level so they can compete at a higher level.
We have a skill training development program that we offer to enhance the abilities of the kids. We have a coach that teaches the kids basic fundamentals of basketball so they can implement it in games.
Every year, we offer a March break camp for kids. The kids experience a 4 full days that is action packed with activities and 2 field trips where they can engage with each other and meet new friends.
Every Year, we offer a month summer camp in June. Where we have 25+ kids in the camp where they mingle and do many activities such as: arts and crafts, basketball, soccer, interactive games, and weekly field trips.
Every Year, around late January or early February, we go on ski trips that is for all ages. This brings families to come along with their children to have a blast and to start the New Year off meeting new people.
