During the summer of 2004, AYSE sponsored
eight young girls from Afghanistan to a
sports leadership camp held at the Ethel
Walker School in Simsbury, Connecticut.
In April 2006 AYSE organized a girl's soccer
clinic with the Afghanistan National Olympic
Committee and the
Afghanistan Football
Federation and reached out to over 250
female soccer players in Kabul. AYSE
sponsored four Afghan-American coaches to
Afghanistan to lead the soccer clinics.
Through the course of the program, girls
were taught the fundamentals to soc
 cer
and each girl was given a soccer ball
and cleats.
By working directly with student leaders, AYSE
hopes to create lasting social change by
giving young Afghan children the power to make a difference in their school,
and in their society. In order for a movement to have a lasting effect, it is important to empower the young generation with the tools necessary to create positive change,
and athletics can be that tool. Participation in athletics can help students academically by instilling strong leadership qualities such as perseverance,
and assertiveness. Today's children are the future leaders of Afghanistan,
and need to be prepared to lead their nation. With the life lessons learned through athletic participation, Afghan children will be able to
inherit these skills
and be able to pass them on to future generations.
