Get Ready for Session II

 Even though we’re in the midst of Session I of The Soccer Center’s Futsal and 7v7 leagues, it’s already time to register for Session II!  Your team manager should be contacting you to determine interest for Session II and we strongly recommend that you respond quickly.  The deadline for teams to register is December 18 ~ just around the corner!   Game dates are posted on the website ~ www.thesoccercenter.org ~ click on Session II for Futsal or 7v7.  Futsal is Far Post’s ‘game of choice’ but teams are welcome and encouraged to add to their soccer experience by playing in the 7v7 leagues as well!

 Two new Futsal leagues have been added to the program for session II!  See the latest issue of The Soccer Center’s newsletter, “Extra Time” for more details on the U8 Coed and High School Coed Futsal Leagues!  The U8 Coed league is a great way for your youngster to be introduced to Futsal at The Soccer Center and the High School Coed league promises to be a fun time for teen age soccer players.

School of Excellence II – 1v1 Attacking and Finishing

 Far Post’s Schools of Excellence are indoor programs that run throughout the fall, winter, and spring.  Boys and girls ages 7-14 are welcome to enroll, and sessions meet for 1 hour per week for six weeks. The program is open to all soccer players of any ability.

 School of Excellence Session II begins on Thursday, December 28 and will focus on “1v1 Attacking and Finishing.” “Soccer dribbling and attacking defenders in 1v1 situations is probably the most exciting skill in soccer!  This program is geared toward putting players into 1v1 situations that will develop player’s dribbling skill and decision making.  Dribbling is an art so players will experience exercises that will give them plenty of opportunities to think for themselves and develop that creative flair,” says, Education Program Director, Wendy Elles.

 Note:  There are some dates when The Soccer Center is closed due to Champlain Valley Exposition functions.  Please mark the following dates on your calendars for the Schools of Excellence II:  December 28, January 4, 25, February 1, 8, 22. 

 The cost is $125 per player.  eRegister early to secure a spot!  For further information, contact: Education Program Director, Wendy Elles at wendy@farpostsoccerclub.com, or 872-8860, Ext. 201

Volunteer Appreciation

 In addition to the coaches, trainers, referees and administrative staff that keep the Far Post organization operating on a daily basis, the club is most fortunate to have two groups of dedicated volunteers who generously give their time and expertise in support of the Far Post staff.  These are the Far Post Board of Directors and Team Managers. 

 The Far Post Board of Directors sets policy for the club and works directly with the Executive Director.   Serving on the board are: 

 For the 2006-07 season, the following have graciously volunteered their services in the administrative management of Far Post’s travel teams: 

A sincere thank you to all Far Post’s volunteers!
