THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF CLEVELAND ALLIANCE SOCCER ASSOCIATION TO ALLOW COACHES TO SHARE THEIR LOVE OF THE GAME AND PERMIT ALL INTERESTED CHILDREN TO REAP THE MULTIPLE BENEFITS OF THE SPORT: PHYSICAL - IN AN ERA IN WHICH INACTIVITY AND YOUTH OBESITY ARE RAPIDLY GROWING PROBLEMS, PARTICIPATION IN SOCCER INCREASES PHYSICAL FITNESS LEVELS AND IMPROVES THE ODDS THAT REGULAR PHYSICAL ACTIVITY WILL BECOME A LIFELONG HABIT. COGNITIVE - THE SPORT OF SOCCER ALLOWS CHILDREN TO GROW INTELLECTUALLY THROUGH ITS EMPHASIS ON PLANNING AND STRATEGIC THINKING AND ITS RELIANCE ON THE ABILITY TO ANTICIPATE THE ACTIONS OF OTHERS AND TO PERCEIVE THE CONSEQUENCES OF ONES OWN ACTIONS. AFFECTIVE - BECAUSE IT TEACHES YOUNG PARTICIPANTS TO REGULATE EMOTIONS AND RESPOND TO ADVERSITY IN CONSTRUCTIVE WAYS, YOUTH SOCCER PROVIDES CHILDREN WITH OPPORTUNITIES TO HONE HEALTHY AFFECTIVE SKILLS. SOCIAL - WITH ITS EMPHASIS ON TEAM BUILDING AND COOPERATION, SOCCER IMPROVES PARTICIPANTS SOCIAL SKILLS THROUGH THEIR INTERACTIONS WITH TEAMMATES, COACHES, OFFICIALS, AND OPPONENTS. CLEVELAND ALLIANCE SOCCER ASSOCIATIONS PAST, PRESENT, AND PLANNED FUTURE ACTIVITIES ARE ALL DESIGNED TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE FURTHERANCE OF THIS MISSION.
