Created for kids ages three through eighteen, Socci is an ideal educational tool. The Socci curriculum is designed to work with existing education programs to teach inclusion, obesity prevention, and violence prevention.
From early childhood development to the university level,
student teachers and educators use Socci to enhance social development,
refine gross motor skills, improve cognitive learning, and encourage
teamwork.
By
its nature, Socci has an anti-bullying message and shows students the
importance of lifelong activity and teamwork. Students are taught a
variety of games with Socci and can create games themselves, making
hundreds of combinations possible.
Schools that have implemented Socci into their curricula see numerous benefits . . . |

After-school programs and
Physical Education participants control Socci games and activities themselves and develop leadership and conflict resolution skills while enhancing strategic and critical thinking. As players learn cooperation and sportsmanship, the use of violence and bullying is naturally reduced. Socci's four-sided goal provides multiple scoring opportunities, so students succeed immediately, which increases confidence and makes them want to play often.
Socci games are designed with inclusion in mind, which means children with special needs are brought back into playtime. Adapted PE students with special needs use the balls in dexterity exercises to enhance movement in limbs, and the balls can be deflated for perfect grip pressure. The Socci multisport system is ideal for all skill levels and can be played indoors and outdoors in any size area, with any number of players. Storage space is minimal, as Socci equipment fits into a single bag small enough to sit in the front seat of a car.
