Winter Soccer: From Jan 7 to Mar 11.
The Portland Soccer Club is excited to offer an indoor winter experience! Sign up today: click Login in the top right of the page and visit your account page to sign up.
Registration Opens: Wednesday, Nov, 9, 2022
Last Day to Register: Thursday, Jan 5, 2023. EXTENDED TO 1/7/2023!
Players will have a blast as they continue to develop dribbling, passing, and shooting skills in an indoor environment. The touches are faster, which improves players speed and decision-making, and the games are higher scoring. Best of all, the kids get to stay in shape over the long winter months!
Two programs are offered, based on age:
1. U5-U8 (birth year 2015-2018)
Price: $40
One hour each week of Futsal on Saturday (Gildersleeve)
Saturdays starting 12pm or 1pm
2. U9-U14 Indoor Soccer and Futsal (birth year 2008-2014)
Price: $50
At least one hour each week of Futsal on Saturday (Gildersleeve), or Indoor on Sunday (Oakwood), or both in some weeks.
Saturdays starting at 2pm, 3pm, or 4pm
Sundays starting at 4pm or 5pm
Locations:
Futsal Saturdays: Gildersleeve gym in Portland. Futsal is fully recognized and sanctioned by US Youth Soccer, and promoted by CJSA, our parent organization. Futsal is played in a gymnasium with dedicated goals and a heavier ball.
Indoor Soccer Sundays: Oakwood indoor soccer field #3 in Glastonbury. The Oakwood field is larger than a basketball court: carpeted floor with hockey walls. A normal soccer ball is used.
Other info:
Volunteer coaches will alternate duties depending on availability. We will attempt to group players each week based on age. We can attempt to work around basketball or other conflicts. The club also plans to offer a few special training sessions for all Travel players, e.g GK training and drop-in pickup soccer, later near the beginning of spring.
Covid:
Protocols will be followed according to the CT Dept of Health (link), the CDC, any town requirements, or that of our parent organization the CJSA. We will continue to monitor and will communicate final protocols before the season begins.
Benefits:
Younger players enjoy the same benefits as in the past, staying active each week. Older players will get more time with the Sunday Oakwood time slots.
A more detailed weekly plan for the players will depend on final registration numbers.
