Fall Recreational Program
Fall Soccer is a fun in-town recreational program. Our goal is to foster self-confidence and to learn the game while having fun. All games are on Saturday mornings beginning after Labor Day and ending in early November at Cape Cod Community College.
FALL 2008 Recreational Soccer - Parents Handout (pdf format here)
1. Weather Cancellation Notification – We will post on the web and on the phone at 8:00 AM if the games will be canceled due to rain. Our weather phone is (508) 790-0875. On the web at www.BarnstableYouthSoccer.org the bottom tab on the left will be Game Day Update. Please remember Instructional is different than Travel.
2. Parking – Rules at CCCC are strictly enforced. There is inevitably a function at the college during the season and improperly parked cars are ticketed. As are cars parked on Route 132. It is easiest if the 9:00 and 11:00 games park on the lower Lot 12 and the 10:00 and 12:00 games park on the upper Lots 10 and 11.
3. Safety – The children must have shin guards. No jewelry of any type may be worn. No watches, earrings (of any kind), bracelets, necklaces, rings, hair clips, etc. No exceptions. A taped covering is not acceptable over earrings.
4. Equipment – Your child should bring 4 things to every practice. Shoes, shin guards, water bottle and a ball. The U6 and U8 players use a size 3 ball. The U10 and U12 players use a size 4 ball. Soccer cleats are optional. Cleats with metal spikes are not allowed.
5. Pets - NO PETS ALLOWED
6. Coaching – Any questions please call Terri Walsh at 508-428-1415.
7. Clinics – Please note the Soccer Clinics indicated below which the club sponsors for your benefit.
