SOCCER IN THE PARK (SIP): Like past years, this is a time to “just let the kids play” small-sided soccer games (i.e. 4v4) in a fun and nurturing environment.
COMPETITION & STRUCTURE are kept low key. KIDS can agree to modify rules, change teams, mix ages.
FIELD MONITORS will keep an eye out for safety and encourage creative problem-solving. Think of it as a Soccer Festival: invite your friends next week, bring a picnic, relax, play, talk to strangers and make new friends.
PARENTS: SIP depends on your involvement. Please be available to your child and join in the play but keep instruction to a minimum. For siblings younger than 1st Grade please play with them on the side.
REQUIREMENTS: Every child needs to bring:
RULES:
Help kids younger than yourself have fun and stay safe.
No Goalies. The 3-yard arc around the goal is “noman’s-land,” stay out of it. If the ball is touched by one team in no-man’s-land, the other team gets a free kick at 10 paces from goal. If the ball stops in the 3-yard arc, the defense gets it at midfield.
REGISTER & DONATE:
Done on day you first play. Children must be accompanied by an adult while participating (No drop-offs.)
All 1
st – 4th grade participants will receive a T-shirt at registration regardless of amount donated (while supplies last).
Meet a “Pro.” GFU and NSC players will “wow” you with smallsided exhibition games and juggling during registration time.
RAIN-OUTS: Check for cancellations and closures by 4PM at
