C4 SOUL
A sports curriculum that builds what lasts past the field: a girl who knows her strength, owns her game, plays for her team and can say what she learned.
What C4 SOUL is
C4 is four moves a coach makes: Catalyst, Create, Collaborate and Cultivate. SOUL is the sign that each move worked: Spark, Ownership, Unity and Learning. The four signs spell SOUL.
Every girl goes through all four stages in one morning. They're experiences, not tests to pass. At each one, the coach with her group watches for one small, visible sign and notes it, so we see where each girl is growing instead of relying on a general impression. Every girl is seen at every stage.
C4 SOUL comes from IJEEZE, a method for reading where someone is and what their next step should be. On the field, that becomes a curriculum a coach can run in a morning, in any sport. Today it runs as flag football in Texas and as football (soccer) in Imo State, Nigeria.
Spark: the sign
Ownership: the sign
Unity: the sign
Learning: the sign
The four stages
What each stage is for, what happens on the field, what the coach does, and the small sign coaches look for.
Spark
Light the spark: she finds something she loves about the game.
- On the field
- Fundamentals through skill drills in the sport: in flag football, flag pulling, throwing and catching; in football, passing, dribbling and shooting.
- The coach's job
- Notice what lights her up, and name it out loud.
- What we look for
- She names something she loved doing.
What did you enjoy most today?
Ownership
She owns her game: she takes responsibility for her role and the skill she will build.
- On the field
- Position work and skill development, with reps she chooses.
- The coach's job
- Give her real choices, then hold her to them.
- What we look for
- She picks a skill goal and takes a rep toward it.
What will you take responsibility for today?
Unity
She plays for the girls next to her. Teamwork makes the dream work.
- On the field
- Scrimmage and small-sided games.
- The coach's job
- Coach the team: call out the assist and the talk.
- What we look for
- She gives or gets help during play.
Who did you help today, and who helped you?
Learning
She proves it on Game Day, then puts what she learned into words.
- On the field
- Game Day and coach evaluation.
- The coach's job
- Evaluate honestly and help her put the lesson, and her next try, into words.
- What we look for
- She names one thing she learned, in her own words.
What did you learn, and what will you try next?
How coaches capture growth
One coach per group, on their own phone
The coach with each group opens coach mode from a link. It lists the girls in that group, so nobody is tracking forty names.
One tap during the stage
When a girl shows the sign, the coach taps Showed it. Her words go in only if there's a natural moment; the coach stays with the girls, not the screen.
Her own answers at the end
At the closing circle every girl answers the four SOUL questions herself, on a card or a phone, so her voice is in the record even if a coach missed a moment.
Two coaches, one list
Taps show up for every coach with that group within seconds, so a station coach and a group coach never log twice.
A morning of C4 SOUL
A standard flag football clinic, about three hours. Each block is one stage, in its color. Other sports keep the same shape with their own stations.
- 8:30Coach huddle: stations, groups, safety
- 9:00Check-in: waivers verified, groups by grade
- 9:15Welcome, warm-up, skill drills
- 9:45Four stations, 12 minutes eachStation 1Flag pulling and footworkStation 2ThrowingStation 3Catching and routesStation 4Rushing and defense
- 10:35Water break
- 10:45Scrimmage: small-sided games, coached live
- 11:05Game Day: a short game the coaches evaluate
- 11:20Closing circle: “So what did we learn?” and a short survey
Ways to run it
C4 SOUL Flag
The full morning: four stages, four football stations, a SOUL check for every girl at every stage, and a report after.
- Stations: flag pulling and footwork, throwing, catching and routes, rushing and defense
- Before and after on wanting to play on a team
- For any school, district or community host
C4 SOUL Football
The same four stages in girls' football: a schools tournament or a clinic, with a SOUL check for every girl, run with local coaches and schools.
- First run as Clinic X, a girls' football tournament for secondary schools in Imo State, Nigeria, in November 2026
- Fixtures and results on a live game board
- For schools, local organisers and community hosts
C4 SOUL Flag + STEAM
The same morning shape with a different skill mix: STEAM runs through it, delivered with a STEAM education partner.
- The STEAM station takes the fourth spot: she times her sprint, measures her throw, works out her speed and finds the angle that throws farthest
- Rushing and defense leave the station rotation but are still played in the scrimmage
- A STEAM moment in every stage
- Before and after on wanting to play on a team and on confidence in science and math
- For education partners, campuses with a STEM focus, and STEM funders
STEAM in each stage
- Spark. Her first number: a coach times her 10-yard start and writes it on her stat card. Speed is distance over time, and now she has a speed of her own.
- Ownership. The STEAM station, one of her four: she measures her throw and her sprint, works out her own speed, tests the angle that sends the ball farthest, and picks the number she will move.
- Unity. Play design is geometry and art: before they run it, the team draws its play on the board, with the angles, the spacing and the open lane.
- Learning. She reads her own data: her first number against her best one, and which one moved. Then the survey asks how confident she feels in science and math.
How we measure it
Before and after
She answers for herself at check-in and again at the end of the day, 1 to 5: how much she wants to play on a team. With STEAM, a second one: how confident she feels in science and math. The two-month check-in is the real outcome.
A SOUL check at every stage
Coaches note, for each girl, whether she showed the stage's sign, and her answer in her own words when there's a moment.
Who came
How many girls, how many were new to football, and which ZIP codes they came from.
Two months later
One short check-in with families who agree: has she joined a team, or kept playing?
A report anyone can read
Reach, before and after, what the girls said, and the cost per girl. Totals and quotes only, never a list of names.
What's built, and what's next
Coach mode, station cards and a drill library Available now
On the coach's own phone, with every drill credited to the coach who wrote it. You can try it on the practice clinic.
Family pages Available now
Each family gets a private page showing where her group is and what's next, live on the morning.
Walkthroughs and reports for partners Available now
A walkthrough before the clinic, and a report built from the day's own numbers after it.
Free clinics for girls Planned for Clinic Zero
Free Saturday clinics for girls in grades 6 to 8 in North Texas, starting with Clinic Zero, then a series.
Schools and fields as hosts Being tested
A school or venue lends a field for a morning; Sixty7 brings coaches, equipment, insurance and registration.
Beyond the field Future expansion
The same four stages for classrooms, clubs and youth programs, with the before and after built in, so education partners can measure growth in confidence, not only attendance.
What Clinic Zero will test
Can coaches see every girl and still coach?
Whether one tap per girl per stage stays light enough on a busy field. If it doesn't, we simplify it.
Do the signs match the questions?
Whether what coaches see lines up with what each girl says about herself at the closing circle.
Does the before and after move?
Her answer on wanting to play on a team, at check-in and at the end of the morning.
Do they keep playing?
At two months, how many joined a team, a league or a camp.
What a morning really costs
Cash and donated, per girl, so the next clinic can run for less.
