This is my first year playing competitive soccer and I am the youngest kid in the club. I am very excited to do this Juggle-a-Thon. I also want to break my record and get at least 10 juggles. Your pledge means more to me than you know. Please help by doing a per juggle amount and/or a fixed donation.

The Covid pandemic has negatively affected many businesses and families alike and there are many children within our organization that are in need of financial support to continue playing the game they love. Additionally, your willingness to participate in our Juggle-a-thon will solidify the operations of the club, provide training equipment, and, most important, sustain its viability, so our kids can play for years to come!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROUS GIFT TO THE CAUSE!

Instead of selling candy, wrapping paper, etc., the Poway Vaqueros Soccer Club (PVSC), has chosen juggling for this campaign because we feel it is one of the most important foundation skills a player can develop. The ability to juggle develops a player’s confidence, first touch, and passing while under pressure. This is the first and FUNdamental stage for ball mastery; a MAJOR principle of the Poway Vaqueros Player Development Plan. Players who juggle well are more adept at manipulating their first touch, controlling the ball out of the air, and handling a bad pass that comes their way. This is due to the amount of time they are spending with the ball and the NEED to manipulate and control it in the air. In short, juggling builds an affinity and comfort with the ball while improving their touch, motor coordination, balance, and leg strength.

I will have 15 minutes twice during the week at practice during the week of May 3rd to get as many juggles as I can. The coach will count the most juggles as the score for my fundraising.
