YES Communities believes in the importance of living an active lifestyle, beginning with the opportunity to play sports as a child. In the YES Podcast, What Living Means, we explore the benefits of youth sports with the major league soccer club, The Houston Dynamo and the Aspen institute which focuses on Youth Activity research.
Woodland Estates
Woodland Estates, a YES Community located in Houston, Texas, is a prime example of how our communities strive to build healthy lifestyles through sports. Danilo Arce, a Woodland Estates resident, volunteers his spare time coaching and providing mentorship to 40+ kids who live in the community. YES saw the potential and decided to step in with and revitalize the soccer field with new turf, bleachers, and goals. Now, the kids have an ultramodern field on which to play soccer, while aspiring to one day become professional soccer players for the Houston Dynamo.
