Welcome to the Spring Recreation Soccer Season.

We will be officially starting the Season this Monday, February 26th.   

Please read through all the bullet points as there is a lot of information that will hopefully answer the majority of your questions.

Practices and Games:   All practice sessions and games are held on Mondays and Thursdays at the West Columbia Soccer Complex at 760 Old Barnwell Road.  The season schedule is at the end of this email.    Practice times for those born in 2020, 2019, and 2018  will be 6:00-6:30. Those born 2017-2012 will practice at 6:30-7:30.  Games times will be similar but may fluctuate due to field space.   Monday practices are run by Coerver Coaching and focuses on individual development.   A sign up for Games will be sent through Sign up Genius.

Uniforms:   We will be using the same jerseys from the Fall Season.  Only check the jersey box during registration if you are a new player or if you need to replace your childs jersy from the Fall. 

Equipment Needed:  Ball (those born in 2017-2020 size 3 and all others size 4), cleats, shin guards and a water bottle.  Please make sure that your child's name is on everything.  I have some cleats left from our cleat drive last year and will have them out tomorrow. 

Volunteers:   The success of this program comes down to the parents!    We have hired Coerver Coaching who leads the training sessions and creates the syllabus but parent volunteers are still needed.  The more volunteers we have the more touches the kids get on the ball and the smoother everything runs.  We will not have the luxury of using our Select team players in the Spring to help as they are all busy with their High School Season.   Please reach out to me if you would like to help with practice and games. 

Birth Certificates: Make sure that a Birth Certificate is uploaded into your child's profile.   A picture of the certificate can be sent to me at 803-553-02224 and I will be happy to add it to your account.   This is a requirement of South Carolina Youth Soccer.  

Sports You Communication:  : We use Sports You to get weather cancelations and delays out quickly.   I will send out an email with the invitation to join closer to the start of the season.

Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions at 803-553-0224.
