Updated Wednesday May 8, 2019 by Allendale Recreation Commission.Fall Soccer: 2019 Grades 1st and 2nd
The goal of 1st and 2nd grade soccer is to continue to develop the fundamental skills, sportsmanship and enjoyment of soccer that were introduced in Kinder Soccer. 1st and 2nd graders will be combined but girls and boys will be on separate teams. Each 75 minute session will consist of a 30-40 minute practice to emphasize skills development and a 35-40 minute scrimmage against another Allendale team.
The first session will generally be held on the weekend following Labor Day with the final session generally occurring in mid-November. The first session will generally be run by professional soccer trainers in order to introduce both parent volunteer coaches and players to drills and games aimed at skills development and to give the parent volunteer coaches ideas on how to run their practices and scrimmages.
All parent volunteer coaches and players will receive team shirts. The key to the success of the weekly sessions is the involvement of volunteer parent coaches and assistant coaches. Parents are able to indicate their interest in coaching or assisting via the same site on which player registration is completed. At the time of parent registration, consent to a background check will be required. Parent volunteers must also complete a Rutgers Safety Clinic course and an on-line concussion course.
Players should bring water and wear shin guards and cleats. At this age group, a parent or guardian must remain at the field at all times. It is recommended that players bring a size #3 soccer ball
The sessions for 1st and 2nd grade girls are generally at 9:15 AM, 10:30 AM or 11:45 AM on Saturdays. An additional 1:00 PM session will be added if there are enough girls for 4 teams.
The sessions for 1st and 2nd grade boys are generally at 11:00 AM, 12:15 PM, 1:30 PM or 2:45 PM on Sundays.
