Before, we were trying to make do with limited and worn-out gear, which made it difficult to practice skills safely and effectively. Now, with quality soccer balls, cones, pinnies, and other essentials, practices feel organized, energetic, and professional.\r\n\r\nWe are using the new resources to run structured training sessions twice a week. Students rotate through skill-building stations focused on dribbling, passing accuracy, footwork, and shooting drills. One special moment that stood out was during our first full scrimmage with the new equipment. The boys were able to divide into teams with pinnies, set up proper boundaries with cones, and play a full match. Their excitement was contagious — they cheered each other on, demonstrated teamwork, and truly felt like part of a real club.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the new materials, their faces lit up. Many of them immediately started organizing the cones and inflating the balls, eager to get started. They kept saying, \"Now we can really practice!\" It was clear they felt proud and valued knowing that people cared enough to support their passion.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, our next steps include preparing for friendly matches with neighboring schools and focusing on sportsmanship, leadership, and fitness goals. We're also introducing small group leadership roles where older students help lead drills and mentor younger players. This project has not only strengthened their soccer skills but has also built confidence, responsibility, and a stronger sense of community.\r\n\r\nThank you for giving our students the tools they need to grow — on and off the field!","fullyFundedDate":1758222460632,"projectUrl":"project/goals-gloves-and-game-time/9610386/","projectTitle":"Goals, Gloves, and Game Time!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Chavarin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9547280_orig.png?crop=202,202,x0,y26&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1747446365631","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9547280"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_96693","uses�ǿմ�ý":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":534,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":83,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":2,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":96,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":70.4,"schoolId":96693,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Acero Charter School - Daniel Zizumbo Elementary School on @�ǿմ�ý:","schoolName":"Acero Charter School - Daniel Zizumbo Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/illinois/chicago-public-school-district-299/uno-daniel-zizumbo/96693"}
