The character education curriculum we use is based on the principle of teaching Success Through Accepting Responsibility your own actions. We use this STAR program to teach the children how they can Stop, Think, Act, and Review every choice and decision they have. Most children do not understand that actions have corresponding consequences, or they at least are unsure how to think these through. This is our major driving force and where we get the best results. You can help by investing into the development of this curriculum and the material we need to deliver it effectively.

In the chaos that is the game of soccer lightening speed decision-making is essential.
 
These decisions could ultimately affect the outcome of the game. Trying to make these decisions in the midst of pressure the mind struggles to figure out the best outcome, you may get lucky now and then and things turn out in your favor, but more often than not you find yourself fighting for the ball. In soccer space is your friend, it allows you to take the time to think clearly. Decisions made here are typically the correct ones, you have time to look and choose from the options you have in front of you (or at least should have in front of you).
 
It came to mind that life is not dissimilar to this. We live in chaos, this is the norm for most of us and decisions made in this chaos do not normally turn out well. Creating time and space to think will inevitably generate the more favorable outcomes.
 
To play a great game of soccer it takes hours of practice, you do not decide to get up one morning and play soccer against (or with) the Ronaldos of the world. All sorts of preparation take place before getting in the game. So, what about life? Where and how do we get to practice for that?
 
Creating a safe place to develop the tools required to live a successful life and introducing kids who play this wonderful game to positive values is where we start. We help children walk through some of the things that lead to those decision-making moments; we are the practice field for life. Introducing the concept of success through accepting responsibility is at the heart of all we do, this is how we create time and space for ourselves in life to make the best choices. OK, so we use a soccer field to do this on, but we are more about the teaching of ethical decision-making than we are about teaching kids soccer skills.
 
Using the game of soccer and all it stands for Pure Game incorporates a teaching that helps with decision-making in life. We are less about the soccer and more about teaching kids how to best create time and space to make the right choices more consistently, therefore getting the most out of life.
 
To live the very best life possible kids need a training field. We use the game of soccer and all the skill preparation required to play at the highest level as that training field.
 
Kids love the game and without knowing it are learning.

Get in the Pure Game

  • Write an Encouraging Letter
    An encouraging letter can breathe hope into a child’s life and answer some of life’s toughest questions, like, do I matter? Do I belong? Am I valuable? Does anyone care? At Pure Game we believe all children are gifted and that children deserve the opportunity to explore and discover what they are here for. Sadly most children, due to circumstances outside their control, never get the opportunity to experience the joy of this search. But, through the power of positive words and encouragement, we can develop the child’s self-esteem so they have the confidence to explore life. Recall the time when you were young, what would you have liked to hear from a caring adult… […]
  • Sponsor a Teaching Session
    Most of the Pure Game teaching is done during the water break, while all the kids are gathered together. These relaxed moments in between games, while endorphins are high, provide for great teaching moments. 
  • Become a Sideline Supporter
    The power is in your presence. Lead the way in cheering on a child at one of the many Pure Game events. This provides you the rare opportunity to uplift and motivate a child in person, which quite literally screams to them, “YOU MATTER.”
  • Sponsor a Field
    The soccer field is a great platform to impart many life skills, so we take as many opportunities to draw on the game of soccer to reflect life. You can be a part of this by supplying goals and cones.
