Spring Soccer Registrations Continue Through April 2

Registration will continue for all spring soccer programs at Sterling House Community Center, 2283 Main Street, Stratford until April 2.  Registrations will be accepted during regular business hours for instructional and youth recreational teams.

A current Sterling House annual membership of $12 or $30 for a family is required in addition to the fees listed.

Instructional sessions for four and five year old girls and boys, with Coach Ken Hill, runs for six weeks for a fee of $75. Each participant receives a soccer ball and tee shirt. Monday sessions at 5:30 pm and Saturday morning sessions will be offered, beginning on April 30.

Youth recreational league play begins April 30 and runs through June 18 with games played on Saturdays and occasional Sunday afternoons. Practices are scheduled during the week at the discretion of the team coach.

The program is open to boys and girls, ages 5 to 18, with separate divisions for boys and girls. Fee is $85. Players will receive a team shirt.  Players are required to furnish shorts, sneakers and shin guards. The program stresses participation, development of skills, sportsmanship, and having fun with a soccer ball. 

Volunteer coaches are always needed. Requirements that are more important than a knowledge of the game include: an understanding of the need for kids to stay active and have fun; the capacity to treat all players fairly, regardless of ability; a personality that can be a mature role model, despite any challenges of the game; and a man or woman who knows how to win or lose with dignity.

Volunteer applications are available online at:  www.quickscores.com/sterlinghouse.
