13GEM Sporting Fall Homeschool PE 2026

13GEM Sporting will continue its Youth Soccer program on Sundays at Marymoor Park, but with an expanded program to accommodate the stable, consistent growth of the club.  The Fall season will expand to the age 13 and will provide two individual practice sessions for the younger and older players.  This program will continue to implement the proven Soccer curriculum focused on developing fundamental skills, conceptual understanding, and full-field awareness at developmentally appropriate levels for all ages and skill.

This is a "Premium Rec" program that specializes in fostering growth in all domains for all players.  Our objective is to ensure your player is learning and growing week-over-week; if they are just participating without growth, then we are not doing our job.  The learning and subsequent growth of each player is the measure of success for 13GEM Sporting, not registration numbers and not revenue.

Flag Football returns to 13GEM Sporting programming in Fall 2026!  This is THE O.G. 13GEM program, the original one, the strongest one!  I am confident you will be hard pressed to find a more comprehensive Flag Football program that teaches deep levels of Football skill and knowledge at all developmental levels.  The Fall program will be open to boys and girls ages 6-13, divided across developmentally appropriate age groupings based on registration numbers.  Players learn the skills necessary to make plays, the knowledge necessary to read the game, and the tenacity to attack and win their matchups.  A side benefit to this program is players report understanding the game better and having a more enjoyable time watching football games on TV in their leisure time.

Fall 2026 is the official relaunch of the 13GEM Sporting Homeschool Physical Education program for homeschool co-ops and independent homeschool groups but lacking teachers and/or equipment.  This program implements a unified curriculum between sports and fitness, allowing students to develop a well-rounded skill and knowledge base.  This is a robust, curriculum driven program with differentiated learning across grades K-8th and across skill levels within grades.  The Fall Homeschool PE program focuses on Flag Football and Fitness and will start on Monday Sep 14 at Marymoor Park Soccer Field 1. 

13GEM Sporting will be providing a Summer Soccer program on Sunday mornings for boys and girls ages 4-12.  This will be a relaxed program focusing on keeping skills sharp and fitness strong.  Practice will focus equally on learning activities and gameplay.  Flexible registration options are available to accommodate those with travel plans.  There is a full Summer option with a slight discount for those taking a "stay-cation" and will be here all Summer.

Summer Soccer on Sundays ends Sunday 8/23

13GEM Sporting offers "Premium Rec" sports programs in a wide variety of sports for athletes of all ages.  "Premium Rec" programming means that we specialize in fostering growth in all domains for all players, not just "rolling the ball out and letting them play".  Our objective is to ensure your player is learning and growing week-over-week; if they are just participating without growth, then we are not doing our job.  The learning and subsequent growth of each player is the measure of success for 13GEM Sporting, not registration numbers and not revenue.

We also hire OSPI Certified Health and Fitness coaches that have received a college education in the related field and have documented student-teaching experience, thus ensuring they have skills and knowledge far beyond the typical "high school athlete who is now a part-time coach" or "parent volunteer who played as a kid or in college".  Our coaches have knowledge in teaching pedagogy, educational psychology, curriculum design, and a wide range of sport-specific skills and strategies.  This is THE biggest differentiator from other rec programs and competitive clubs.

13GEM Sporting has every intention of entering "competitive club" leagues in a variety of sports over the coming years as the club grows and 13GEM opens its first physical location dedicated exclusively to its own programming.  This is an exciting time to become a part of the 13GEM Sporting Club!

Floor Hockey will restart this Fall in the MAPS- Redmond gym on Saturday mornings.  While Floor Hockey is a brand-new sport for many children, it implements many of the skills and concepts found in other, more "popular" sports.  The most primal sport activity, whacking a ball with a stick, is something that appeals to all players once they start, especially for the first time.  Floor Hockey is free-flowing, continuous sport that requires speed, agility, and endurance that first-time players, especially players experienced in other sports, find enjoyable.  There is no ice, rather players run around on foot chasing the ball from end-to-end of the court making plays.

After many requests from students, especially Upper Elementary, Middle School, High School girls, 13GEM is excited to provide a Volleyball program in the MAPS-Redmond gym.  This program is for both boys and girls, with separate sessions for each gender ages 7-17.  The coed program for ages 4-6 utilizes developmentally appropriate equipment that accounts for hand-eye coordination and body strength of younger players.  All ages will engage in drills to build motor skills and conceptual understanding.  Communication is a critical component of Volleyball because players remain in the same space throughout each play, as opposed to sports that are "end-to-end".  Volleyball is a very different sport from many of the "popular" sports most children are accustomed to, so engaging in the program will allow athletes to develop a skill set and knowledge base that will expand their athletic ability, understanding, and processing.
