Teams:
One of our favorite parts of Fall Soccer is seeing all our friends on the soccer fields, AND making new friends. Although friends in the same grade may practice on different days and times, they all play games on Saturdays at the same time!
It is also important to us to create teams as evenly as possible. We use the questions asked at registration to evenly balance players of varying abilities amongst the teams in their age groups.
We also recognize that we have many friends, especially our Kindergartners that are trying our program for the first time. To help with this, teams are created based on school as well for our younger age groups.
Intro to Youth Soccer Refereeing:
This is an intro to refereeing. We will be going over the basic rules of soccer for recreational youth soccer games. We will also go over how to work with coaches or parents on the sideline. This clinic is for both returning & new refs interested in working with the Essex Youth Soccer program ages 13 years old and older. This is NOT a certification course.
