Tools to Facilitate Action

Socci in Education

The sport of Socci was introduced to the world in 2004.  Its unique scoring concept and focus on skill and social development has received rave reviews from educators around the country.

Socci's Multi Sport System is used to provide quality standards based education using fast, fun and high scoring games and activities that are inclusive. Using the Socci equipment, students get multiple opportunities to practice and refine a variety of fundamental sports skills that they need to develop healthy and active lifestyles.

Socci helps students develop hand-eye-foot coordination by using throwing, kicking, catching and striking in fun and innovative ways that motivates student participation. Many activities included in the Socci curriculum are designed to maximize participation and develop teamwork, communication, cooperation, and sportsmanship. All programming adhere to national and state standards. Keep in mind that the compact, portable Socci goals are designed for both indoor and outdoor use and the activities provided can accommodate both large and small class sizes.

Physical Education
Socci offers a full Activity and Standards based PE curriculum that can be used from Pre-K through grade 12, that adheres to all State and National standards. Socci is listed among the top 10 “Tools in Schools” to prevent Childhood obesity based on an American Heart Association sponsored study. This was a joint effort by Virginia Tech in association with Henrico County Public Schools.

Health Education
Socci was first used in an anti-tobacco grant in 2005 for Broward County Public Schools. The curriculum was developed by the PE teachers who had to implement the anti-tobacco message as part of the grant. Other parts of the curriculum include games like "Fat vs. Muscle" that teach students how muscle burns fat in activity.

Adaptive Physical Education
Socci's 4-sided goal provides multiple scoring opportunities for success. Socci games and activities created by APE teachers were designed with inclusion in mind. The Socci balls can be used in multiple dexterity exercises to enhance movement in limbs and can be deflated for perfect grip pressure.

Staff Development
Socci trainers are all certified by Socci Sport, LLC. Socci Sport commits to creating Train-the Trainer programs across the country.

The Course
Socci Trainings offer a program and demonstration, at the end of which attendees will be able to implement and organize Socci into their year long programming. All attendees will receive sample Socci lessons that can be implemented immediately.

Universities
Socci is currently taught in over 65 Universities and Colleges to the future Health and Physical Education teachers. Socci is the perfect tool for all occasions. When student teachers can go into a class, adapt immediately and teach any skill set on the spot, you’ve done your job.

School Sports
As it was designed as a soccer type sport, socci has been embraced by soccer coaches. Socci improves on a soccer team's overall performance by training first touch principals, spatial awareness, passing skills, teamwork, endurance and shot taking in a non-contact format.
