This soccer club is a special needs soccer program aimed at people aged 5 through adults who want to play soccer but are unable to participate in mainstream programs.

Parents and families are encouraged to participate by either cheering on the sidelines or occasionally taking the field to scrimmage, as they desire.
Lasting friendships have been developed between the players and families from Linden, Fenton, Swartz Creek, Davison, Grand Blanc, and more. This club has been invited to play at special events at local high schools and universities. The team is run by long-time Coach Jerry Davis with assistance from a crew of “Buddies” who help on the field. Most events will be on Saturday morning from 10:30 am to noon, starting on Saturday, September 6th. There will be a total of 8 events, with the projected last event being Saturday, October 25th.
