Middle school soccer team headed to sectional championship looking for community support ⚽️

Hi everyone

I’m a middle school teacher in Nashville, and our soccer team is having an incredible season!! Woohoo.

we’re heading into sectional (I think) championships tomorrow, which is huge for our school.

We have a lot of talented students, including many from international backgrounds, who love the game and have real skill. The challenge is that some of these students aren’t able to fully participate due to barriers like getting sports physicals completed or transportation to and from practice.

I’m newer to working within this community and want to make sure I’m supporting students the right way. I know these kids want to play! they just need a little help accessing the opportunity.

I’m hoping to connect with anyone who:

   •   Knows of local programs or clinics that offer low-cost/free sports physicals

   •   Has experience supporting transportation for student athletes

   •   Works with youth or immigrant communities in Nashville

   •   Or just wants to help brainstorm solutions

This team/ school has so much heart, and I’d love to help remove some of the barriers so more students can be part of it.

Any guidance, connections, or support would be greatly appreciated!
