13.Jul.2008 KICKIN' IT

Soccer, also known as football, is considered the world’s most popular and fastest growing sport. It can be played by just about anybody. It has proven to be a fun and rewarding activity for Special Olympics West Hawaii athletes because it involves the participation of everyone constantly.

Longtime volunteer Nikki Cleintuar visited a SOWH soccer practice Thursday. She captured the following great photos of the players and Coach Steve Strand. Enjoy!
