Not ready for fall? Me neither. But there is a good reason to glance ahead: soccer! Signups for the kids? fall soccer program through the Bainbridge Parks and Recreation District are happening now through August 24. So if you want to ensure that your young ones have their spots in September, time is of the essence.
It probably isn?t news to many on Bainbridge Island that kid?s soccer is one of our Park District?s most popular programs. Sports Director Julie Miller told me that soccer and basketball are the District?s two biggest sports programs, with about 300 kids playing soccer each fall.
The program has age leagues for kids 4, 5, 6, and 7-9 years. Tots can get started in skill sessions for ages 1.5 to 2.5 years and 2.5 to 3.5 years. Four-year-old children not quite ready for a league commitment also can join the older skill sessions.
Miller explained that the leagues are divided by gender to promote participation by girls.
She said, ?One of the cool things about our soccer program is that we have a lot of local high school students who participated in the program when they were younger coming back to teach.? With help from parent volunteers, high schoolers run the warm ups and skill sessions, followed by scrimmages. The program doesn?t track scrimmage scores because, as Miller pointed out, the kids are too young for that level of competition.
This year?s Park District fall soccer season runs September 5 through November 3, Saturdays from 9 a.m. to noon at Battle Point Park. Different leagues play at different start times.
