Purpose:
To offer selected U7 & U8 recreational players the opportunity to enhance/develop their emerging soccer skills.
Method:
In addition to their current team practices and games these players will attend an additional practice every other week from June to July and once a week in August, which will consist of skill training and small-sided games.
In addition, the select team will be playing in exhibition games within the Essex area. This would consist of approx. one game every month, which will be played evenly among the U8B teams.
Practices & games for this group should not interfer with the practices & games for their recreational team.
Those making the U8 select teams will be first served during the U9 competitive try-outs in September 2010, if there is a competitive division for this age group.
The U7 Select Program
This program will follow a similar format as above.
It is now proposed to have this team practice through-out the fall and spring once a week, and then return to the recreational league program in May. During the recreational season, the team will still practice under the above format.
Additional costs (due to internal facility costs) may incur for those who choose to remain with the program and these costs will be announced around mid-August when more details are known.
Practices:
All practices/Games will be held at L'Essor South Junior field, which is the small field next to L'Essor South large field (near Tecumseh Road).
