Seattle Pacific University School of Education Department and Seattle United Soccer Club have partnered together to create a free soccer program for individuals with disabilities.

Creating a sense of belonging within a soccer community that invites individuals to make meaningful relationships and a chance to step on the field is important to both SPU students and Seattle United staff.

When: 10-11 am on May 3, 10, 17, and 31st
