The Office of Extended Learning is excited to announce that on Sunday, December 4, 2022, students from four schools participated in the Unity Cup in Brooklyn, sponsored by the US Soccer Federation’s Just Ball program. In celebration of the World Cup, Just Ball is a 5x5 free play soccer model held in just three locations nationwide: New York, Los Angeles, and Newark. The following teams and their Playmakers (coaches) enjoyed a great day in Brooklyn, playing, seeing skill demonstrations, and customizing soccer balls. We look forward to more schools participating in the Spring 2023 Unity Cup!
