SUNDAYS April 28 – June 23

BOYS & GIRLS AGES 6 – 12+

SMALL SIDED GAMES

Jericho Turf 

Play soccer by Jericho Beach when the weather is actually nice outside!

During Spring Soccer we will not keep score.  We want players to enjoy themselves and to improve their skills without the full intention on winning.  Players know what the score and we want them to score but it will not be the focus.  During the final two weeks we will have a tournament where teams will have the opportunity to play fun competitive “World Cup” matches with prizes. 

All registered players will be assigned to balanced teams after two weeks of fun scrimmage games.  We will do our best to coordinate players into levels that suit a desired challenge.

Have fun with your family at the beach after games!

 

Why is it fun?  We play music.  We help coach but its relaxing.  Parents get to suntan.  Sometimes we bring coffee and snacks.  We try to balance the teams and make it fun for the kids.  We warm up with ball skills.  There are country flags around the field to celebrate the beautiful game.  It is community oriented and we all slowly get to know each other.

Canada’s Chances at the Women’s World Cup

By Mike Toth

Just what are the chances of Canada winning a medal at this summer’s FIFA Women’s World  Cup, or even better, walking away the Big Prize itself? How about trying to sneak the  sunrise past a rooster, say those who don’t like to put much faith in fairy tales with happy endings.

Other devotees to the Beautiful Game beg to differ – and this particular camp includes Canada’s frontline foot(y) soldiers marching off to the battle fields of Germany ready, willing and able to meet the challenge. The Canadian women have spent the better part of the past two months in a soccer specific training camp in Rome and the players feel their prospects are bright for Mission Germany, especially in view of the Canadian team’s considerable successes since they so spectacularly snatched the North American title away from the powerhouse United States.

For one, young Jonelle Filigno is practically bursting with confidence. “Myself individually, as well as the entire team feel we are well prepared,” says Filigno, the fast-rising striker already touted as the heir apparent to Christine Sinclair as Canada’s next prima soccerina. “The recent successes that we have had all added to the confidence and belief that we now have going into the World Cup. Not many teams can say that they’ve had the success that we’ve had leading up to the World Cup.”

At the tender age of 20 Filigno is the youngest player on Team Canada. She is also battle-hardened with 30-plus international appearances to her credit already. Among others, Filigno has helped Canada win the 2010 Gold Cup, gold medal at the 2008  CONCACAF Women’s Under-20 Championship, reached the quarter-final with Canada at the 2008 Olympic Games, and represented Canada at the 2008 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup.
