Kiddie Program

Kiddie Program

FALL START DATE: September 13th    FINISH DATE: October 18th

SPRING START DATE: April  2010      FINISH DATE: May 2010

Schedule:  Usually there are six sessions total:

If we have a cancellation due to weather, we will push out the schedule out one week.  We will only reschedule one makeup if there is more than one rainout.

Times/Format: The times will run from 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. each Sunday.  For the first half hour, teams will practice on a half-field.  For the second half hour, teams will scrimmage.  Games are played with 3 players on a side, with no goalies, and no score kept.  The purpose is for kids to associate "soccer" with "fun," get some exercise, and touch the ball as much as possible.

Weather:  in case of rain, the session will be cancelled.  Check http://www.soccerwest.com for weather updates. 
 
Location:  We will meet at Aliber fields near the intersection of Grand Ave. and 63rd Street.  (Enter just west of Auto Zone and go past Pal Joey's.)  Your coach will attach a bandana with your team color to your goal.
 
Equipment:  Each player needs to bring, to every session, four items:
1.      A size 3 soccer ball.
2.      Shin guards.
3.      Water bottle.
4.      A parent
Snacks:  your coach will ask parents to volunteer to bring treats on a rotating basis to each game.  I would encourage you to keep the treats small in size and not overly sweet.  After all, the game ends right before dinner time.
Uniform:  try to have your child wear a t-shirt or sweatshirt that is the team's color.  Other than that, there is no uniform. 

Thanks,
Frank Levy
