How Does It Work?
We work with local partners in areas lacking social-sportive activities for special needs teens.
The activity includes soccer practice and social activities during the week, monthly tournaments, and meetings with Sha’ar Shivyon groups (non-special needs) where we further the integration of Special goals participants into Israel society.

Engaging in sports helps develop social skills, teamwork, decency, perseverance and facing challenges.
Forging Meaningful Relationships
A unique program to facilitate meetings between special needs and non-special needs teens. Developing meaningful relationships on and off the field.
Integrating Into Society
Encounters between same-aged children with different needs helps remove barriers, crush stereotypes and deal with bullying, and creates a feeling of kinship.
