COMMISSION MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission
FROM: Vice-Mayor Alex Fernandez
DATE: September 14, 2022
SUBJECT: REFERRAL TO THE PUBLIC SAFETY AND NEIGHBORHOOD QUALITY
OF LIFE COMMITTEE REGARDING BUSSES FOR SENIORS' SOCCER
CHAMPIONSHIP PROGRAM.
RECOMMENDATION
Request City Administration resources to address the needs identified by the Seniors Soccer
Championship program organizers, as well as the participants, for transportation to Flamingo
Park from North Beach for soccer practice every Tuesday
BACKGROUND/HISTORY
Through a partnership with Upright City, the City of Miami Beach offers a free Seniors Soccer
Champions Program at Flamingo Park every Tuesday at 10 am. The program is designed for
men and women over 65.
This first-of-its-kind program was intended to be inclusive and created to address a lack of
sports programming for seniors. Notwithstanding the popularity of the program, it is often difficult
for senior residents who live in North Beach to attend due to the distance to Flamingo Park.
The purpose of this referral to the Public Safety and Neighborhood Quality of Life Committee is
to request from the City Administration resources to address the need identified by the program
organizers as well as the participants for transportation to Flamingo Park from North Beach for
soccer practice every Tuesday. Providing transportation will help ensure that the program is truly
accessible and inclusive.
