First off, to many of you who I have never met in person, hello and thank you for becoming one of my connections.
I am contacting my connections to share what I am doing in my practice Exercise is Therapy.

My request of you, if you could be so kind,is to share what I do with your clients, colleagues, friends, and family. Hopefully my service is something that might be of interest.

Soccer Pups, Dogs, and Wolves
Last week our friends joined up with The Blazin' Soccer Dogs. This is a non-profit soccer team that DENIES NOBODY!
They offer programs for 4-8 (Pups), 9 - 24 (Dogs) and the kids with better skills are the Wolves.
If your athlete needs a person to be with them on the field they have a group of young volunteers ready to go. The group leader Nish is fantastic and full of energy, runs them through running and skill drills, and they end with some game play.
Go and check them out. Tell your friends who have kids that might not do well on a more competitive team.
The cost? FREE. All that is required is a $50 deposit for a uniform which is returned to you at the end of the season.
Donations for the coffee fund are always appreciated (yes...there is coffee for parents!)
