Hopefully everyone is having another great summer. Soccer practices will begin in about 3-4 weeks, so we'd like to begin preparation for team rosters. Please see below for updates since our June update.
REGISTRATION
We also hope your kids have been dribbling the ball around the house, yard, or park at some point over the last few weeks in anticipation of the Fall Soccer Season. Team submissions for the Fall Leagues are due in just over three weeks. If your child(ren) is/are interested in League Soccer, please click the following Registration link to signup. https://registration.buzz/barnabas/ The Saturday Soccer Program (Coffee League) Registration will be ongoing through the beginning of school if you are still deciding to do both.
REFEREES
We are looking for referees for the Fall Leagues. Games for those will be played at Graver Park, Crescent Park, or the St. Walter's Field (Park 581). 5th and 6th graders can referee games in the 1st and 2nd grade games while 7th and 8th graders can referee 1st thru 4th grade games. StB Soccer alums are also welcome to referee.
The MHR League had a small (30 minute) training last year closer to the start of school - Details are not yet shared for this year. There are some helpful videos on YouTube (about 30 minutes each) to go over the basic rules for first time referees. All of these details will be better known closer to the season. Please contact us with interest.
SOCCER INFORMATION
Most StB Soccer In-Season updates are be posted more frequently on our Blogger page. The website for the Blogger is: https://saintbarnabassoccer.blogspot.com/. It is mobile friendly, so it's a good site to bookmark. Also, the initial game schedules for each League Team will be linked on the Blog with an ics download available for your individual calendars. None of the leagues use dedicated software, so we hope to have a single reference point for parents coordinating very busy schedules. More to come on this.
Please email saintbarnabassoccer@gmail.com with any questions. We look forward to seeing you in about 3 weeks!
