Dear Elite Soccer League Members and Friends,
As many of you know, Elite Soccer League will be hosting 5v5 winter soccer in the months of January and February. As was the case last year, winter soccer is open to all recreational teams, signature teams, and plus teams interested in playing. Players from CalSouth and AYSO alike are welcome.
In addition to being a lot of fun, winter soccer and the 5v5 format provide a great opportunity for kids to sharpen their individual skill set during the off season. With only five players on the field at a time from each team, players get many touches on the ball. In addition, the smaller field makes it much more difficult for a player to hide. Every member of the team must get involved in the game!
A few of the program highlights include the following:
Saturday games, January 10th – February 28th
No mandatory practices (teams have the option of practicing if they so desire)
Game fields in various locations throughout South Orange County to accommodate players from various cities
Flexible schedules to accommodate team needs (teams can pick blackout dates)
You can also find more information online at www.elitesoccerleague.com.
Please forward the attached flyer to anyone you know who might be interested in coaching or playing winter soccer. Many areas no longer have other recreational organizations offering winter soccer. As a result, if the kids don’t find out about our program, they may not be able to play.
Also, if your son or daughter is interested in playing with a specific coach or specific friends, please just let us know. We allow coaches to add players without restriction until the team is full (i.e. coaches can pick their own teams and players can pick their own coaches). We feel that players and coaches alike have a better experience when they are able to form the team on their own.
Of course, individual and partial team sign ups are great too. We will help fill teams with individual players and build new teams where necessary, based on registrations.
We are very excited about the winter soccer program and hope you can be a part of it.
If you have any questions, please feel free send me a note or give me a call at (949) 468-0086.
Best regards,
Mike
