Intramural Soccer

The program is 4 weeks long, 2 sessions per week, for an hour after school. Early in the program, students will focus on developing and advancing their skills in ball handling and passing. As the program progresses, students will be split by ability level and continue more appropriate development. The last few sessions will provide the students a chance to use their skills in competitively balanced competitions.
To participate, students must : have a completed Clubs and Activities Form, pay the $5 per sport activity fee, and have a completed sign-up form.
Intramural soccer will start on Tuesday, December 3rd and run through Tuesday, January 14th. The program will run on Tuesdays and Thursdays each week from 3:10-4:10. The participants will NOT meet on Thursday, December 12th due to a concert in the gym.
