Partnership with  Ontario Tech University 's Dr. Meghann Lloyd

The  Pickering Soccer Club ' s All Abilities program is working in partnership with  Ontario Tech University 's Dr. Meghann Lloyd to offer the new Active Start program.

Physical Activity is essential for healthy development. The key is to encourage basic movement skills because these do not simply appear as a child grows older. These skills develop based upon an individual's heredity, environment, and activity experiences. Therefore, participation in programs that are active, safe, and fun such as this Active Start program should be a priority.

The goal of Active Start is to improve the skills of 4-6 year old children with autism using an 8 week curriculum targeting various Fundamental Motor Skills. FMS are important for activities of daily living and are an essential component of physical activity participation later in life. Research has also linked the advancement of motor skills to social, behavioral and communication skill improvements. Although the purpose of this program is to improve motor skills, the ultimate goal is to provide these kids with a space to lean, feel included and have lots of fun.

We are honoured to be the first organization offering this program within the Durham community.

40 community organizations are being supported by the 2019 Para sport Jumpstart Fund:

Organization: Pickering Soccer Club
Location: Pickering, ON
Program: All Abilities Program – Let Them Play
The Pickering Soccer Club provides quality soccer programs, and funding will support staff time, facility rentals, transportation costs and soccer equipment costs to sustain its long- standing All Abilities Program – Let Them Play, allowing 175 kids with disabilities the opportunity to participate in 14 week-long sessions to develop soccer skills. Funding will support staff time, facility rentals, transportation costs and soccer equipment costs.
