House Soccer
2012 Outdoor Season

The Lakehead Express Soccer club is excited to welcome you to our Spring Recreational Youth Soccer Program. Our programs are designed for boys and girls from ages 3-14 who want to play soccer in a fun, learning environment that caters to their physical, mental and social needs. Our program has been designed will be implemented by a certified Ontario Soccer Association Coach. Our fun Soccer Festival is on June 9 (raindate June 10) at Lakehead University (C.J. Saunders fieldhouse). This year each child will receive a full uniform that will be handed out prior to the beginning of the season.

Our main goals are to:
Create a fun, soccer experience that the kids enjoy
Develop individual soccer skills that is focused at their developmental level
Increase confidence and self esteem in each child

What about Skill Sessions?
Players at the youngest ages will receive 20 minutes of quality instruction each week in a truly FUN learning environment. Older divisions will also receive instruction and will play a game with a 4 v 4 format. Team tactics and competition is kept to a minimum in all the divisions; there is no focus on winning or losing.

When do we start?
Play will begin May 14 and runs through to June 28. A fun soccer festival is scheduled for Saturday June 9 (raindate Sun June 10) at Lakehead University. Each child will participate in a fun round robin style of play (more details and schedules to follow).

Where are we playing?
We are excited to offer soccer in 2 locations this spring. Our older players (9-14 yrs old) will be playing at our Lakehead University Fieldhouse
location, while our younger players (3-8 yrs old) will be playing again at River Terrace.

Can I play with a friend?
Players may ask to play with a friend. Please note this when registering your child. The club will do its best to accommodate those requests but does not guarantee.
