Saturday, January 8 - Session 1 of Winter Indoor Soccer

1.  Come early to get set to take the field right at the start of your child's session.

2.  Everyone has to have their own ball and full water bottle.

3.  Shin guards are required.

4.  Uniforms are not required for January 8.

5.  Footware should be indoor soccer shoes or flat-bottomed tennis shoes.  Outdoor cleats and running shoes are not allowed.

6.  January 8 will emphasize 2 important principles; (1) fun, and (2) fundamental skills.  If it's not fun, no one will try hard.  Trying hard is important to skill development.

7.  We will have 3 varieties of coaching at all sessions this winter.  (1) Master Coach - Matt Noah, in charge of session plans.  (2) Skills coaches - those listed as head coaches as well as any volunteer coaches from Shanley high school boys and girls teams.  (3) Parent coaches.

8.  Our first session will deal with passing, dribbling and shooting.  We will teach those skills using fun games, fun activities, the boards, etc.

9.  The MetroRec is a unique facility.  We will use its unique character; low ceilings, webbed steel girders, hockey boards and wall to our advantage.

 

Uniform/Equipment Distribution:  If you ordered a soccer uniform (jersey, socks, shorts) or ball, it will be distributed on the dates shown above and no other dates.  If you did not pre-order, you can just show up and purchase either of the above items while we have extra.  If you cannot make it, please have someone come and get your items.   If you don't have a uniform and did not order one, your child will not be allowed to play in any games.

Soccer Balls:  Soccer balls are available at the same time.  They are custom FSC balls.  The cost is $20/ball.  We highly recommend you put your name and phone number on the ball in case it is lost or mistaken for some other player's ball.

Where: Noah home, 4910 Meadow Creek Drive South, Fargo, (701)-866-1949 (cell)

Directions:  From 52nd Avenue South and 25th Street, proceed north on 25th Street about 0.25 miles to Meadow Creek Drive. Turn west (left) on to Meadow Creek Drive and veer left until you reach 4910.

Sizing:  To get the correct size, we recommend you bring your child with you. We have youth small, medium and large uniforms as well as adult small uniforms.

Lettering:  You can get your reversible jersey lettered on both sides for a nominal charge at Scheel's on 45th Street. Lettering is optional. We recommend your child's first name on the jersey.  It helps the coaches, teammates and other parents get to know the players.
