The treatment of users of a Psychosocial Care Center (CAPS) can be done in several ways, one of which is bodily practices, including soccer, as this sport, even in the leisure dimension, brings educational and health related possibilities. This experience report aims to expose the CAPS as an internship and professional intervention field in the Physical Education (PE) area and, even more, to demonstrate how soccer can be a great treatment resource for these users. A Participant research of soccer classes was made by an intern of the bachelor’s degree in Physical Education in the second half of 2019, since they observed and intervened in the “Soccer Group”, planning and discussing with the internship’s supervisoryteacher and the CAPS teacher the activities that would be applied. The focus of this experience report was to demonstrate how bodily practices enable professional/user interaction, allowing to monitor activities such as games, as well as contributions to the group such as the reduction of affective dullness, greater participation in the activity, and improvement in technical skills. It was identified that soccer can help the treatment of users in relation to the disorders they present, especially regarding sociability, volition, andpotential.
