Sports League
for HFA/Asperger kids and their siblings
In an air conditioned gym
8 wks from April 9th -May 28th
4-6 p.m. Thursdays
This is a different kind of sports league. A place the kids can go and have fun, work on sports and games, and feel good, not bad. Where people understand them, not criticize them. The goal of this program is:
1. to have a place where HFA/Asperger kids can fit in with sports/games in a non competitive way
2. to gain expertise in sports to help them fit in at school/P.E./other places
3. to help them with social skills and dispute resolution while playing team sports
4.to help them to practice and work on gross and fine motor skills
5. to improve their self esteem by gaining proficiency in various sports and games
6. to make friends while doing what they love
Meet our Program Director and Head Coach
Sara Patterson
” I am very excited about this program because I love sports and have a passion for the youth across the globe. I have been involved in many sports programs locally and internationally. Here in Phoenix I have been the head coach for 5 different basketball teams ranging from 5th grade to 9th grade. I have also coached basketball to inner city/ at risk kids through a program run by The Phoenix Mercury. I have worked for The Boys and Girls Club, been a referee at ASU for their intramural program, the head coach for third and forth grade volleyball, and lived in South Africa coaching every sport from rugby to netball. I have a special place in my heart for children with disabilities because I watched the struggles my older sister went through having high functioning autism. I want every child no matter who they are or where they come from have the opportunity to dream big, have fun, and succeed in their life. Sports build confidence, raise self-esteem, and teach teamwork, while getting exercise and having fun. Come join a new and different sports league! Sign up now!”
