STEM SOCCER
SUPPLEMENTAL CURRICULUM
"My students had the opportunity to participate in the Soccer STEM program. I have spent two years with most of these students and this experience was the first time I have seen them truly invested and engaged in the learning process. My classroom became student centered, where they were controlling the discussions, and inquiry that followed the modules, not me."

Our STEM Soccer program has the perfect touch and trappings to create a robust supplemental curriculum that juggles between classroom-style teaching as well as on-the-pitch learning opportunities. There are no penalties for learning this way because we use soccer as our real-life application.
Crossing the spectrum of the sport, the STEM Soccer supplemental curriculum touches and tackles several different lessons throughout the eight-module program and features:
- The importance of properly inflated soccer balls and how molecules respond inside the ball
- Learning how active play and burning calories correlates
- The Engineering Design Process as students create their own goal line technology
- Calculating the probability of penalty kicks. Students will be able to predict the number of penalty kicks by using a model from collected data
It is our goal to make your students critical thinkers, better problem solvers and skilled collaborators. The STEM Soccer program will do just that and explain the science that is behind the world’s most popular game. This program will provide an invaluable assist so that students can lap the field with their STEM literacy and future career paths.

All STEM Sports® curriculum kits are designed for repeated use and can serve hundreds of students. Within each classroom, after-school program or camp setting, implementation for one student up to 30+ is possible per module. Or, two modules can be implemented simultaneously. There are lots of variables to consider and our curricula is well designed for expandability and scalability.
All of the supplies in the kit are non-perishable and are designed to last for several years. Some supplied items, such as 500 rubber bands and/or 1,000 craft sticks may have to be replaced over time.
Because all STEM Sports® programs are aligned with all or either of the following standards: Next Generation Science Standards, Common Core State Standards and National Standards for K-12 Physical Education, our supplemental curriculum is a perfect fit for public, private or charter schools classrooms. Then and because of the curricula’s standardization, the modules are a great fit for after-school programs as well as camp settings.
Everyone from science and STEM teachers, to PE teachers, sports coaches, volunteers and even the students the curricula is designed for. The 21st century skills we engrain with students are the same skills that they can utilize to help their fellow students.
