South Bay EPIC Soccer has been helping kids with disabilities play soccer for over 20 years. EPIC stands for Everyone Plays In our Community. We are looking for young adults 12 years and older that want to be an EPIC Buddy and help players on and off the field. EPIC Buddies arrive at 1pm to help setup the field and then around 1:30pm the players arrive where you will shadow players and help them play soccer. Then at 2:45pm EPIC Buddies help put all the equipment away. You do not need to know how to play soccer, just the willingness to help.

Description
South Bay VIP Soccer is an EPIC program within the American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO) and is run by volunteers. The program was started in the fall of 2003 and serves children with disabilities who otherwise would not have the opportunity to play soccer. We have adapted the game of soccer so that every child can play regardless of their ability. For example, we use balls that beep for our visually impaired players.
The program operates in the fall and spring. We have served over 500 children since 2003. For children with disabilities there are many barriers that they must overcome in their lives. South Bay VIP Soccer eliminates some of these barriers to enable inclusive soccer for kids with disabilities. Since its founding in 1964, AYSO's main philosophy has been "Everyone plays", now that has been expanded to "Everyone Plays In our Community". This program makes this key philosophy a reality.
