Kevazingo Handbook & Policies
Building disciplined, confident, and respectful players on and off the field.
⚽ Welcome to Kevazingo
As you read these pages, I invite you to picture yourself resting beneath the wide branches of a Kevazingo tree, beside a peaceful lake where pangolins gently feed and protect their young. Nearby, the laughter of children dances through the air as they run freely across the grass, chasing a soccer ball with joy, innocence, and dreams in their hearts.
And sitting there together in that moment of peace and simplicity, the very first thing I would tell you is this:
Kevazingo is more than soccer.
Yes, we teach proper soccer skills, discipline, teamwork, conditioning, and game intelligence. But above all, we believe in helping children grow into respectful, responsible, hardworking, and confident young people.
Kevazingo welcomes families from all backgrounds, cultures, and beliefs who desire a positive and disciplined environment for their children.
We are not a church, temple, mosque, or synagogue. But we strongly believe in teaching civic values, love, respect for others, responsibility, discipline, and merit through daily actions both on and off the field.
We believe children should earn opportunities through effort, commitment, and character not through entitlement or shortcuts.
One of the principles closest to my heart comes from the Book of Proverbs 22:6:
“Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.”
That is the spirit in which Kevazingo was built.
