LONDON AREA SOCCER

Good afternoon London Soccer Families;

Important notes for Thursday 4/11 and for Sunday 4/14/24.
Due to the predicted thunderstorms this afternoon and evening, All soccer practices are canceled for this evening, Thursday 4/11/24. We will Never practice or play with any type of Thunder, Lightning or severe Winds and heavy rain.

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT 4/14
We are postponing the opening games on 4/14 due to a huge fundraiser that will be going on at St Patrick school on Sunday. Their event is so big now, there is nowhere to park and the grass areas will be too wet due to all the rains and we do not want to destroy the school grounds.
We plan on making up the games at a later date. We are so sorry to hold off opening day, I am very concerned about the 150+ players, families and no parking at the school.

This also includes the start of the Kinderkickers opening start date.

We are truly sorry for any delays via weather or St Patrick School activities.
Thank you all,

Coaches

SPRING 4V4 COMPETITION SOCCER PROGRAM
Planned Start date is Sunday 4/14/24 for games.
Games will be played on Sundays and a few Saturdays.
Sunday planned start time is 2pm. Saturday planned start times are 9am.
This is a 4v4 game format that is fun and competitive. Players learn to keep spread out and work harder as a team to score and to defend.

Since player numbers are smaller then fall seaon, we play smaller numbers to make it a competetive program based on US Yout Soccer Programs.

This is the Start to Soccer program for the young ones that would like to learn to play soccer and have a fun time while learning. This is my 20th year with this program and it has been exciting watching the kids go through the programs and play through high school. This is open to Pre-K & Kindergarten players. I will consider some 3 year olds if you talk with Coach Jeff.

• Kinderkickers Soccer program for 4-5 year olds, the start to soccer. This Spring I want to move quicker into playing actual games so that the kids can get more game experience; 5 week program. Planning on running this spring on Sundays. $30 per player.
This program is the Start To Soccer.
We will play games and have fun. The kids will put lots of touches on the ball as they are encouraged to play and participate.
At this age, I am a firm believer of the kids having a fun and exciting time while learning. We know the kids will get upset when they lose the ball and they are going to stand around too; that is expected, so we encourage them to keep trying, playing and participating. For some, this may be their first experience in a sports group setting with many of other kids.
I will try my best to make sure they have fun and learn without realizing that they are building skills!!
This program is not a formed league with teams, though we will have different color shirts to help separate the kids for soccer groups and matches.
We will work on drills and touches and move to playing against each other as we move through the sessions.
