Player of the Month Award Winners      

 

Congratulations to all our Player of the Month award winners.   Please visit our updated Player of the Month web page.

 

Winter Sessions

 

In December we will send out information about our winter skill and conditioning sessions which start in January.  These sessions are not mandatory, but I highly recommend them as they are chance for players to continue to develop foot skills over the winter and keep their foot on the ball.

 

Futsal League

 

Also in December, we will be sending out information about the FC America Futsal League which also starts in January.  The Futsal League is an inter-club coed league and will be played on Saturday mornings.  Last year was our first year of Futsal and was a lot of fun for both the players and the parents.  Sign-ups will be in December, and with a limited number of spaces, you will need to register ASAP.  Please go to our Futsal web page for more information and pictures of award winners and league winners.
