EBSC partners with Old Bridge club on program for children with disabilities
EBSC is grateful to the Old Bridge Soccer League (OBSL) for opening up its highly regarded Just4kixs program for children with disabilities to East Brunswick residents. EBSC will monitor the program this spring in hopes of starting an East Brunswick-based program beginning in the fall.
Children from ages 4 to 12 with a disability are invited to join OBSL’s "Just4kixs" program. The program will once again put together teams of children and buddies to help children learn to play, share, grow, interact, improve their gross motor skills, follow one-step commands, encourage speech, and help boost their self-esteem, while playing a fun sport in a non-judgmental environment.
If you have a child or children with a disability, such as Autism, aspergers, Down syndrome, ADHD, hearing impaired, 22q, speech delay or any other developmental delay, we invite you to join this special program. If your child has a sibling who would also like to play we encourage the typical children to sign up for our program also.
Each child will have a buddy to shadow them during structured play as well as a lot of parent involvement to help us learn about your child and their special needs. The team will only play on Saturdays in the spring. There will not be an actual game or opposing team to play against, but rather one team learning the sport together through basic drills and with one-on-one attention. Your child will receive soccer shorts, shirt, & socks, and a trophy at the end of the season.
The cost for the spring season is $40 for one child, $60 for two children and $80 for three or more children.
There is no fundraiser fee. There is no work bond fee, but one parent will be required to work for one hour at the field with assisting the coaches or other small jobs.
The Spring Season begins on March 28 (10-week season) through June 13.
Parents must purchase soccer shoes, shin guards, and a soccer ball for participating children.
The child DOES NOT have to be a resident in Old Bridge Township to participate. All games will be played at Ticetown Fields on Ticetown Road in Old Bridge.
