2010 Fun of Soccer Program
The 2010 Fun of Soccer program for Pre-K and Kindergarten children will begin in the Fall after Labor Day. The sessions are every Saturday for 6 or 7 weeks. The Fun of Soccer program is currently filled and registration is now closed.
The WSA offers a program for Westfield boys and girls ages 4 – 6 called The Fun of Soccer Program. To be eligible to participate in the program, children must be in kindergarten and below. Players entering first grade in the fall participate in the In-town program. The program is offered and operated under the guidance of the WSA Professional Coaching Team. Returning as the FOS Coaching Director is WSA veteran, John Gardner. John will set the weekly Coaching Curriculum.
Curriculum Emphasis:
- To introduce players to the FUN of soccer
- To offer some basic skill development
- To maintain age appropriate game
- To create “interactive” activities involving player & parent.
ACTIVITY GROUPS:
At our entry level, the FUN of soccer is introduced within Activity Groups. Each group is lead by parent volunteers who are called Activity Coaches. Players are grouped by the following ages:
Pre - K (4 yr. olds)
Kindergartners (5 & 6 yr. olds)
The age cut-off date is on or before Oct 31. The age you are before or during the fall season is the age group in which you participate.
PRACTICE TIMES:
All training occurs on Saturday afternoon at Jefferson School Field. Program dates and exact times for the age groups will be provided at the beginning of September, with the first program session on Saturday, September 18, 2010.
COACHING:
We will again ask for the assistance of volunteer coaches to take the responsibility of leading training groups of 10 to 12 players each week. Each group will need a head “Activity Coach” and 2 or 3 assistants. All Activity Coaches will learn basic soccer related activities and games which are age-appropriate to this level. If you have any future desire to coach at any other level in the WSA, this is the first in a progressive training program for our coaches. This is also the perfect opportunity to simply enjoy a fun environment with your child through the game of soccer.
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN VOLUNTEERING AS A FOS ACTIVITY COACH, PLEASE CONTACT SETH TENNANT at seth_im@yahoo.com
ADMINISTRATION:
Each age group will have a FOS Administrator who will handle any other questions you may have. We are also in need of volunteers for the first two sessions to assist with player check in & handing out jerseys & balls. IF YOU HAVE THE TIME TO HELP OUT, PLEASE SEND AN E-MAIL TO SETH TENNANT at seth_im@yahoo.com
The success of the FOS relies on the collective effort of all volunteers and families involved. Thank you for all of your support of our program and our players.
