Its now official, I went to the first coaches meeting, for my daughters first time in playing recreational soccer. The Raptors have been formed and the colors should be Kelly Green. We asked her if she wanted to play in the YMCA league and she seems very excited about soccer. I decided to volunteer as a Coach and was selected to help guide her team.
They will play 6 games this year and each game will be made up of 4 seven minute quarters, with 2 minute brakes in between and 5 minutes for the halftime. No offsides or penalty kicks. Each team carries a total of 10 on the roster and 7 play (6 plus a goalie) on the field.
The goal is to have FUN and start teaching them about the basics, ball, goal, kick into goal, and no hands (unless your the goalie). This should be a lot of fun and give them a chance to run and meet new friends. As they grow older, they will start to learn more, they'll add more players to the field and play longer games. Each season is setup to build on what they have learned in the past.
Games will start on September 17, but the fun begins tonight and the next few weeks. Calling all the parents and seeing when all of them will be available to practice. I hope to get them all together at least a couple times before the first games start. Schedules will and uniforms will be available on the 10th.
