SPRING LEAGUE
CHARGERS SOCCER CLUB – TAMPA
Chargers Soccer Club of Tampa wants to give the game of soccer back to the players. Past generations learned to play the game on their own with other kids in the neighborhood or at school in these kid organized games. Today youth sports are overly adult controlled and influenced. It’s difficult today for youngsters to have a pick-up game since the streets have too many cars, the sandlot now has a mini-mall on it and parents are reluctant, with good cause, to let their child go blocks away from home on Saturday to play in a game on his or her own.
The Spring League Program is a way for us to give the game back to the players in the community. The club will provide the fields and the possibility of mixing playing levels and genders. It can be used to assist with player development, player identification and player selection. Mostly it is a chance for players to play the game for the FUN of the game. Brings together children, parents, coaches and volunteers. Soccer is the common language and the soccer ground is an arena for social inclusion.
Referees are NOT needed, since these rules are meant to teach self-responsibility and fair play, with the implied agenda of improving the player’s competences in non-violent communication and conflict resolution.
Games will be played at the New Tampa Community Park Fields (NTCP). Players will practice on Tuesdays and play a game on Thursdays, no weekend games.
Season will run April 1st to May 8th (6 weeks). Players will need to bring a ball, shin guards and water to each session.
