Philosophy of the Club:
The main philosophy of the club is to let the players have fun while they are learning the game. Every child should be playing at least half the game in the intramural and in the travel team program.
ORGANIZATION: INTRAMURAL & TRAVEL
The intramural league is broken down into four age divisions and is coed. 4&5 years, 6&7 years, 8&9 years and 10-12 years.
The club has had as many as five travel teams but currently have two teams are entered into the Intercounty Soccer League. Travel teams play mainly in the Fall but there is also a supplemental Spring League
Travel teams play mainly on Saturdays and practice during the week. Intramurals play and practice on Sundays.
WEATHER AND CANCELLATIONS:
Soccer games are played in the rain,snow or shine. Howerver in the intramural program we may cancel games because of bad weather. We will play in a light rain or drizzle. When the weather is bad on game day you be contacted by your coach via a phone chain. If you do not get a phone call show up. Travel teams show up if in doubt.
