Post by Shepherd Center

With the World Cup in full swing, we’re reminded that soccer is more than just kicking a ball up and down a field. It brings people of all nationalities together and shows what’s possible when you come together as a team. Right here at Shepherd Center, our power soccer team, the Shepherd Strikers, embodies that same spirit every time they take the court. Thanks to the Alias Family Sports Teams program, power soccer gives our athletes the opportunity to compete as part of a team while rediscovering confidence and independence after injury. It also gives our Strikers the opportunity to travel across the nation as they compete in different tournaments. Like the teams on the world stage, our athletes show up ready to play, push boundaries, and prove what’s possible. At Shepherd, the love of the game is for everyone. #WorldCup #WorldCup2026 #PowerSoccer #AdaptiveSports #Soccer #DisabilityAwareness #ShepherdCenter #Atlanta
