Our Story:

My husband and i have been running an Adult Soccer Group in NYC for 4 years. We have over 1,500 members and are truly honored to provide them with the ability to play soccer without paying the crazy league fees.

After we had our little girl, Ali, we realized that the league fee's are nothing compared to kids soccer classes fees in NYC. Our goal now is to do the same for children as we did for adults.


So….


We are happy to present: BRAINY SPORTS!!!


The idea is to integrate sports with basic pre-school education.

We brought together some of the best educators and sport coaches in New York City with the objective of developing spectacular holistic soccer classes. As if this wasn’t enough, we are taking it further by making these the most affordable, high quality, toddler soccer classes in NYC! The fees for the classes will support the FREE CLASSES offered to kids that other wise would never get a chance to participate.


The Impact:
We will change the world one child at a time.

Brainy Sports has combined three of the most important aspects of Child Development:


1. Mental - Brainy Sports Soccer classes seamlessly include, number, color, and basic concept development. (Read more about the importance of early childhood stimulation)


2. Physical - Brainy Sports Soccer classes develop essential motor skills by including running, jumping, and more complex physical movements. (Articles on the importance of mobility in childhood)


3. Social - Brainy Sports Soccer classes are designed to prepare your child for Kindergarten or Pre-School. Most children do not have practice in team work and social organization when they enter Pre-School; this makes the transition process very stressful on the child. These classes are designed to ensure your child has the social stimulation necessary to develop these skills. (Read more on social development)


What We Need:

The curriculum is already developed. So the funding we need is for:


1. 1.Equipment- These are more than just your basic soccer classes. So in addition to soccer gear we also need educational equipment. (example: Large Letters for the kids to jump over)


2. Training- We need to pay for coach training. We estimate that we need at least 3 well trained coaches.


3. Website Development- A well put together website.


4. Permits- Field Permits


5. Insurance-Youth Sports Insurance


6. Uniforms- Little t-shirts for the kids. This is important because it reinforces unity and team work.


7. Promotions- Getting the word out about the new classes. This is the hardest and most expensive part.


8. Development- Other sport curriculum's, we would like to offer more than just soccer.
