LONDON SOCCER PLANS FOR 4V4 LEAGUE-WEEK OF 3/27

Hello 4v4 League Soccer Families,
It was good to finally get outside for some soccer fun on Sunday. The weather has been a challenge the past few weeks due to the cold, rainy windy weather. Hopefully time and weather will allow me to get it done this week.

We had quite a few out due to spring break and now we can move forward with soccer activities. As I mentioned to all that heard me on Sunday, I am going to push the first games the weekend after Easter.
That will give us another week to practice and set up teams on Sunday 4/2/23

Equipment needed for soccer activities is “Shin Guards – mandatory”. Kids, please bring a ball with you to practices please. Please bring enough water/fluids to all events so that they keep hydrated.

If you are a parent and would like to coach a team, please get with Jeff, Frank or Anthony. It is a lot of fun with small teams during games.

Soccer Schedules for the week of March 27th:
Thursday 3/30 Practice 6:30-7:45pm
Saturday 4/1 optional Practice 10-11:30am

Sunday 4/2/23:
Kinderkickers starts 1pm-1:45 pm
Grades 5th-8th group – 1-2:30 pm
3rd / 4th Grade Group – 2-3:30 pm
1st / 2nd Grade Group – 3-4:30 pm

We will get through this week and will work to finalize schedule for the rest of the season.

Thank you all for your support.
Coach Jeff Stiffler

Kinderkickers Soccer

We kick off our Spring Kinderkickers Season on Sunday 4/2/23 @ 1pm at St Patrick School Soccer Fields.
I am hoping the weather provides some sunshine and the ground dries out.
If you are able to show up about 30 minutes early, we can work to get shirts handed out and players checked in.
Each player will need a #3 Soccer Ball and Shin Guards which are mandatory to wear during soccer activities. You can get the socks with built in shin guards at Walmart and most sporting places. Cleats are not mandatory and are entirely up to parents.
This program is a start to soccer to allow your child to learn some basic skills and have fun.
This is my 20th year for this program in London. I have had many kids start in this program and play all the way through high school.
My goal has always been to provide a fun and learning experience and for many, this may be their first time in a somewhat organized program. At this age all the kids want to do is run and kick the ball around. We will have instructions; play games and we will work into playing soccer matches as the weeks go on. I will give the kids homework that parents can work with their players to help with their excitement.
I will ask if parents are available to please help out if you can, it will most certainly help keep things going smother.

This is my annual Soccer Camp with Coaches from UK. This is a good camp to get your soccer player the extra training from coaches from England that live and breath soccer. You have the option to possibly Host A Coach too. Talk with Coach Jeff on this.
