ALACHUA – On most days, the gymnasium floor of the City of Alachua’s Legacy Multipurpose Center echoes with the familiar sounds of basketballs bouncing, sneakers squeaking, and volleyballs spiking across the court. But one Sunday each month, those sounds take on a new rhythm — one filled with laughter, encouragement, and the unmistakable joy of achievement.

That’s when the space transforms into the home of Limitless Legends, a growing inclusive soccer program where every child — regardless of physical or cognitive ability — has the chance to play, participate, and belong.

Founded in 2024, Limitless Legends was born from the idea that sports should be accessible to everyone. The program offers children and young athletes with disabilities an opportunity to enjoy the “beautiful game” of soccer in a safe, supportive environment tailored to their needs.

The organization was founded and is led by Amanda Guevara, a pediatric physical therapist with 12 years of experience and a lifelong soccer enthusiast who decided to merge her two passions — helping children and playing soccer — into a single community effort.

“All children are invited regardless of their physical level,” said Guevara. “Wheelchair or ambulatory, we make it accessible for everyone.”

Guevara’s approach combines her clinical background with the heart of a coach and mentor. She ensures that every participant, whether they kick, roll, or push the ball forward, experiences the thrill of the game.

During the most recent session, families, volunteers, and young athletes gathered at the Legacy Multipurpose Center for the Limitless Legends Showdown.

Volunteers — many of whom have returned month after month — assisted players with positioning, movement, and ball control, ensuring that every child remained part of the action.

Each event blends skill-building and fun with an atmosphere of mutual respect and encouragement. For many participants, it’s the first time they’ve been able to take part in an organized sports activity designed to accommodate their abilities rather than limit them.

Volunteers are always needed — and everyone, no matter their experience level, is welcome to help create a field where all players can shine. Those interested in joining or volunteering with Limitless Legends can contact Guevara at dmpedspt@gmail.com.
