Another season is almost done. Thank you to everyone who committed their time and energy to provide another season of soccer to the children in our community. I appreciate all your effort.
Registration has now begun for the Fall, 2009 season. I would like to explain some program changes that will occur beginning with the Fall, 2009 season.
On-line registration – all registrations for the Recreation program are now being processed on-line. The deadline to register is July 12. From July 1 – July 12 there will be a $25 late fee added to your fees. After July 12th all players will be put on a waiting list and will only be contacted if spots are available. If you do not have access to a computer, please contact the Ela Soccer Office, (847) 726-6909, for assistance.
Little Kickers Program (ages 4 & 5) – The Little Kickers program will now be for pre-school players only. The program remains unchanged with the ½ hour practice and ½ hour game taking place either on a Thursday or Sunday.
U6 Program (Kindergarten) – Beginning in Fall, 2009 Ela will provide a U6 program similar to the communities around us. This program will be run by a volunteer coach, have 1 player practice per week (day and time determined by the team coach) and 1 game every Saturday. In addition, players will be able to attend any or all of the 5 skill sessions held every season and run by the Ela Director of Coaching.
U7 Program – The U7 Program is being enhanced with practices run by the Ela Director of Coaching. Every Tuesday all U7 players will practice with a professional Ela trainer. Teams will continue to have parent volunteer coaches who will run one additional practice during the week, day and time determined by the coach, and 1 game on Saturday.
If you have any questions, please contact the Ela Office, 847-726-6909.
