If you’ve ever been to the Wallingford Playfield on a Saturday in Autumn, then you’ve no doubt seen the frenetic sea of orange jerseys belonging to the Woodland Soccer Club. Autumn may seem far off, but on May 1, it’ll be time to register your kiddos for the Club’s 2011 Fall Recreational Soccer. There are approximately 1100 kids who play for the Woodland Soccer Club, which is open to all boys and girls ages 5 and up, with the majority of the games and practices held on the Wallingford Playfield. The fall season generally lasts through the end of October, with one practice scheduled during the week and one game scheduled on Saturday.
Children of all levels are invited to join the Woodland Soccer Club. Early registration runs May 1-June 2. Click here to register, beginning May 1. Kids under 11 play MOD soccer in which there is no scoring. This type of play also calls for fewer players on the field, allowing kids to have more time with the ball, while learning basic soccer skills and how to work together as a team.
Parents may also volunteer to coach their child’s team. To find out more about coaching opportunities, visit http://www.woodlandsoccer.org/
For clarification, I think saying “there is no scoring” is a little misleading. The score is not kept but there are goals and the players are working towards getting the ball into the goal — among other things, such as making dirt piles and practicing cartwheels!
Yes, good point! Thanks for clarifying. They also learn the finer points of making airplane arms, a la Ronaldinho!
