The Garden City Centennial Soccer Club is looking for qualified coaches to head its new U10 teams that will tryout in June 2007. The birthdates for the children on these teams will fall between Aug. 1, 1997 and Dec. 31, 1998.
League play for these teams will begin in September 2007. Anyone interested in these positions would need to be available to run practices in the summer, begin with tournaments in August, be able to attend practices/games at least three times a week during the school year and be able to commit themselves and their teams for several tournaments during the year. A good candidate for this position will have good knowledge of all aspects of soccer and must be able to share the love of the game with elementary school aged children. The commitment is great but the rewards are greater.
If interested in these positions, contact Sandra Young at sandramyoung@msn.com. An interest sheet will then be mailed to you and must be returned by March 9 in order to be considered.
The Centennials will be sponsoring soccer clinics for girls in Grades 2-9 and boys in Grades 2-6 that are registered in the spring program. The clinic program is presenting the opportunity to those children that would like to have some fun, enhance their skills and play more soccer.
These clinics are interchangeable and children can attend multiple clinics. Therefore if a child in Grade 2 cannot make the Tuesday clinic they can attend the Grade 2 clinic on Thursday. If a child in Grade 2 or 3 would like to attend both clinic days (Tuesday and Thursday) they are welcome to do that. The same holds true for children in the older age groups.
