Season starts TODAY!!

You should have received emails with team assignments. If for some reason you did not, please email me. I will also be at the field tomorrow to direct any players to the right location. 

Please report to your practice field location to start the session tomorrow 9/14 at 9am at Amerige Field. You will meet your coaches and get your uniforms.

If for any reason there’s is a cancellation in the future, you would hear it from myself directly through email and on this blog.

Also, please note parking restrictions are strictly enforced at Amerige Park. Parking is allowed on the Fellsway side of the park only. Parking onHighland Ave and  Savin St is allowed only on the side opposite the park. Please respect the restrictions and the residents.  The same holds true for leaving the field as we find it.

Our main goal is to provide every child with a fun and friendly opportunitiy to learn to play soccer. Our league is run entirely by Volunteers, from our Board straight through to our coaches. It is because of the volunteers that we are able to provide these opportunities to our players. There is always room for more volunteers so if you are interested, please contact me or reach out to your coaches directly. 

Below you will find the Practice Field locations. Please report to this field at the start of every session.

Thanks,
