Let’s Play!
Born from a years long dream to bring soccer teams to the Peruvian Amazon - to reconnect with the joy of the sport , while also connecting with people from a different background - now brought to life by an incredible fellowship opportunity through UC Berkeley…we invite you to join us in the jungle to:
bond as players
improve skills
condition
have fun
bridge differences across cultures
Programming
Conditioning
We will work conditioning sessions and workouts into our schedule daily. Some examples:
track run/workout in the city
gym workouts in the city or at the lodge
field workout at the lodges
mat workouts and yoga at the lodges
Scrimmages
Daily scrimmages will be played at the lodges and at villages. This is a unique experience to be able to scrimmage a variety of people and teams and possibly even participate in a tournament.
Activities
We are all about balance and a huge part of this experience and being able to connect as a team is some adventure and fun outside of soccer. Some examples:
piranha fishing
visiting a monkey rescue center
the canopy walkway!
early morning and nighttime boat rides to look for wildlife
Self-care, Reflection and Support
We want to provide a space for our teams to also connect with themselves and process what this experience is.
We will prep the team about bridging differences and the opportunities in this adventure. We will lead sessions in journaling, mindfulness, and opportunities to reflect on their day as a group.
Finally, we recognize that for some this may be overwhelming and difficult at times, and will provide support and the opportunities for check-ins throughout.
