The Best Coaches for Age-Appropriate Soccer!

Soccer Shots Curricula Aligned to New York Early Learning Guidelines

By Adina Kayton November 21, 2024

“As an early childhood educator and center director for over 20 years, I have come to appreciate

the vital importance of a strong curriculum in the development of young children. I have

personally reviewed all Soccer Shots curricula and aligned it with the Ney York Early Learning

Guidelines. Soccer Shots has designed and implemented developmentally appropriate curricula

that emphasize character development.

Through my review, I identified activities that address over 50 New York Early Guidelines. The

Soccer Shots staff reinforces many of the domains and goals addressed in the classroom.”

Sincerely, Marnie Aylesworth M.Ed.; Ed.D. Candidate
