Hello Westwood Youth Soccer Kindergarten Parents!
Kindergarten soccer is all about the kids having fun while learning basic soccer skills, teamwork, and good sportsmanship. We do not keep score and do not play goalies. We want players to have fun without a lot of pressure. All coaches use great activities provided by our Director of Coaching. Our job as parents and spectators is to cheer them on and encourage them to have fun and do their best!
Players will receive their team assignments in late August. Players usually remain on the same team for the fall and spring.
This program is dependent on volunteers, and we encourage you to participate as a coach or assistant coach. No prior soccer experience is necessary—only commitment is to attend weekly games and bring your enthusiasm! If you are interested in volunteering, please email kindergarten@westwoodsoccer.org.
