Former Lady Ram launches soccer academy

Riverview High graduate Danielle Meyer, an All-Americas Recipient at Polk Community College and starter and captain for Lindenwood University, recently launched Soccer Time Academy.

Soccer Time Academy is a soccer enrichment company designed to help prepare future soccer stars for the Special Olympics or just to enhance their athletic soccer skills.

After mentoring for the Special Olympics while attending Lindenwood, Meyer wanted to give back to the community.

Soccer Time Academy will hold three skill level sessions on weekends. Each session will last two hours.

Level 1 is for those with intellectual disabilities and includes basic skills with a modified team competition and age specific soccer drills and games. Level 2 is designed for seventh-and eighth-graders who want to enhance their skills to prepare them for high school tryouts. Finally, Level 3 is for high school freshmen and sophomores and will include in-depth education of how to contact colleges, preparing a bio for college scouts and advanced ball skills.

Cost is $20 per session and a minimum of four sessions is required to participate in the academy.
