SEPTEMBER IS YOUTH SOCCER MONTH!!!

The Four Messages of Youth Soccer Month   Throughout Youth Soccer Month a series of messages and themes will be communicated to illustrate the essence of youth soccer.   Each week in September, one of the four messages of Youth Soccer Month is celebrated:   Week 1 - Fun:  Whether recreational or competitive in nature, involvement in soccer is easy, affordable and rewarding.  Week 2 - Family:  Playing soccer ties families together as schedules, vacations and family time are coordinated.  Week 3 - Friendship:  The relationships and fun generated through playing soccer and their extension beyond the field.  Week 4 - Fitness:  The health and fitness (physical, psychological and social) benefits of playing soccer.
