Beacon Hill Youth Soccer

“In the end, lo and behold,
it’s not really about sports at all.
What matters most for youngsters
is learning about themselves,
and learning how to get along.

For the vast majority of kids,
the games themselves
will fade over the years.

What will remain are the friendships
and life lessons
from the 21st-century village
that sports can provide
and that kids so desperately
need outside of the
structure of the classroom. ”
