Registration open for new FUNdamental Soccer program

Salisbury, MD – Registration is open for Wicomico Recreation & Parks’ new FUNdamental Soccer program for boys and girls ages 7-10.

As part of the six-week training program, players will learn soccer in a nurturing, fun environment. Youth will take part in specialized, age-appropriate drills and games designed to develop the players’ individual skills.

Led by our youth soccer coordinator, each practice will consist of 30 minutes of skill development followed by two 15-minute pool-play small-sided games. An individualized scoring system will be used to track players' development.

The program runs from April 1-May 13 (off April 15) on Saturdays from 9-10 a.m. at Cedarhurst Park.

Registration is $25 per player and includes a soccer ball. Registration is open through March 24; add a $5 late fee after March 17.

The program is in search of parents and/or volunteers to help manage drills and games as volunteer development coaches. A general knowledge of soccer is preferred but not required. The volunteer development coaches must be able to physically demonstrate soccer skills and coordinate small groups of kids.

Registration is available at the Wicomico Youth & Civic Center Box Office (Monday-Friday, 9 a.m.–6 p.m.) and online atwww.WicomicoRecandParks.org. Contact Allen Swiger at 410-548-4900, ext. 108, or email aswiger@wicomicocounty.org.
