Winter Programs

This winter, we will once again be offering our indoor Winter Programs at the Variety Club in Worcester   There are 2 separate programs being offered.  You can sign up for either, or both depending on the age of players.  All programs will be held at the Variety Club Gymnasium, 2950 Potshop Road, Worcester PA

We suggest you register quickly, these programs are very popular, and always sell out. The system is set to roll over to wait list after the first 24 kids for Academy, and the first 48 for Futsal-   We will fill out available spots for each age group from waitlist

• Skills/Academy -age 7-10-   This is a learning and development program, focusing on technical skills development.  Program lead is Coach Jesse Salvato.  This program will run on Friday Nights from January 7th until February 25th, between 6:00 & 9;00 PM  Each group will play a single, weekly session of about an hour. We will break this down, and confirm session times as we break the kids into age groups  Each session will involve a  blend of technical skills work, learning and development games, and small sided free play.

What ( you need to bring) :

Every child should be dressed to play, this is an indoor, heated facility, we suggest they wear shorts and a tee shirt under weather appropriate outer clothes.  Every player will need shin guards, a water bottle, and non- marking sneakers- low tops are better for soccer than basketball shoes-  

Parent Stuff:

• COVID PRECAUTIONS-   

  • Currently ( 11/27/2021) , the children will not be required to wear a mask while actively playing.

  • Mask wear is permitted, if preferred by the player/family

  • We want to minimize the total number of parents/siblings in the gym, and we request that non-players do wear a mask

  • Similar to past seasons, we will try to get one parent from each group to stream the session-   This stream will be available to all parents in the Team Manager App

• We can always use some help, if you are interested in volunteering, please send an email

• Snow or Weather Cancellations-   We will let everyone know what is going on, but common sense will prevail, if the schools are closed, or if there is a blizzard, then we are going to cancel-   If there is a 20% chance of flurries, we will probably go for it-

• There will not be reschedule of any sessions

• You will be receiving a couple of system emails over the next few weeks, as we post the rosters and the schedules, make sure you have the App installed on your phone-   That will be our primary tool for snow days, scheduling, and program communications-
