Algonquin Sports for Kids

In 2005, Algonquin Studios, Inc, along with Buffalo Niagara Soccer (now Buffalo United Soccer) developed and ran eight (8) soccer clinics over a four week period. The clinics were held at the Johnny B. Wiley sports complex on Best Street (the geographical midpoint of the City of Buffalo) during the months of July and August. The goal of the clinics was to gauge the level of interest in a sport with little or no presence in the central and eastern portions of the city. Expectations were that a few dozen children would show up. By the end of the eighth session, more than one hundred and fifty (150) children between the ages of 4 and 12 participated and hopeful seeds were sown to begin the long term development of a strategy to bring this sport and all of its benefits to a targeted group of children.
