First Practice

We are looking forward to Thursday and having our first practice! The weather forecast says, scattered showers...unless it's pouring at 4pm we are planning on being there.

A couple of things:

1. It's hot! Please send your kids with a cup/sports bottle. We will have a cooler of water there and plan on having the kids take water breaks.

2. Make sure the kids are wearing appropriate clothing and shoes for practice (shorts, t shirt, socks, tennis shoes) and make sure it's something that's OK to get dirty (since the field might be muddy).

3. This first one will be a judge of how long the practices will be...we are thinking 45 min -1 hour, but it really will depend on the kids attention span. Feel free to bring a lawn chair and watch, or there is a playground if you have other kids that aren't in soccer where you can play. Or if you need to run you are welcome to drop off your kids too (just let us know ahead of time).

4. You will be respnsible for shin guards for your kids. Other than that, all other equipment for practices and games will be provided, so you don't need to bring anything.

If you have any questions please contact us! See you on Thursday!

WELCOME!

Welcome to all our friends who have joined us in this endeavour. Our goal is to create a FUN, non-competitive atmosphere where all children can learn and play soccer.

After researching the area for youth sports to put our own children in, we were very put off by 1. the competitiveness (especially at such a young age) and 2. the price.

That is when we decided to give this a try. So we hope you can be patient with us as we are learning how it all works. Also, know that we are open to suggestions at anytime, so please give us your feedback on what we are doing, and how we can improve.

We are grateful to all of you who have gladly jumped on board and offered your support! Thank YOU! We look forward to getting to know you and your children better over the coming months.

We've posted the tentative practice, and game schedule off to the side and will keep this up to date. The plan as of now is practice Thursday's at 4pm, and a game every other Saturday at 9am through the beginning of November.

At this time we ask that you contact us (comment, email, or phone) to let us know if you plan on having your child(ren) participate in the program, so that we can get an official head count. Thank You!
