Travel Tryouts 2020-21 Season

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, EPYSA has placed all soccer activities on hold, including tryouts for all clubs in our local community. WSC believes it is unlikely that traditional tryouts will occur this year.

That said, we are asking all players interested in Warrington Soccer Club's travel program to complete our Travel Tryout / Player Interest registration. There is no fee. This simply adds you to our system and enables our Coaching staff to reach out to you.

WSC Soccer Drills with Coach Neil

 

Attention all players have you been practicing your juggling skills? Coach Neil wants to see who can match or beat his 100 juggles challenge see the video below.

100 Keepie Ups (Juggles) Challenge! Although not game related keepie ups or juggling the ball develops confidence and helps a player improve their touch and comfort level with the ball. Coach N... www.youtube.com

 

Let coach Neil know if you try the challenge doc-neil@warringtonsoccerpa.org - stay safe everybody!

 

Dear Parents here are the second and third video demos of activities I hope you and your kids can try outside your own home. These videos show the same activity but one is longer due to my intro!

 

My hope is that you time your kids over a week (or longer) and then use those times to encourage your kids to create visual representations of their times for each activity. My next video will give you specific ideas on how to achieve that aim. 

 

I also have a downloadable PDF that you can print and use to record your kids when they participate in these activities.  Please see below:

I would love to see videos of the kids participating in these activities and also would love to see their final creative home-school projects,  as I said more details on that to follow soon.

Stay safe I wish you all well.

Winter Programs - Time To Register & Secure Your Spot! Winter Indoor - Saturdays January 4 - March 7th The Winter Indoor program is designed to keep kids involved with the game throughout the winter months. Each week begins with a warm-up session followed by the formation of random teams for small-sided play. Open to all players. 11:00 AM - U6 (Birth Year 2014, 2015)  12:00 PM - U8 (Birth Year 2012, 2013) 1:00 PM - U10 (Birth Year 2010, 2011) 2:00 PM - U12 (Birth Year 2008, 2009)   Fee: $175 ($150 Early Bird pricing  through November 30th) We love this model because it gives each child the opportunity to interact and play everyone and creates more of a "free-play" environment. Free-play fosters creativity, individual decision making, and most importantly, fun and excitement.

2020 Pre-travel Program

 

Attention parents of 2012 and 2013 players.

2020 Pre-travel program invites are in the process of going out to parents based on the feedback from the the intramural program, the directors of coaching, and travel staff. Invite emails were or will be sent directly to parents from the Travel Coordinator’s, Josh Peters, email address (travel@warringtonsoccerpa.org). Limited registration for those invited will close Friday, December 13th and then open registration based on availability will begin on Sunday, December 15th.

Players were evaluated throughout the fall intramural season for 3 elements we are looking for in this bridge program:  1) ability, 2) focus, and 3) effort. We are looking for players who are thinking or planning to tryout in the spring for the 2012 Academy Travel teams for the 2020-21 season to train this winter and spring. This program may be combined with a winter intramural program, but would replace spring intramural participation.

We hope you will consider this program as a competitive bridge to the Academy Travel (u9 and  u10) program that will prepare players for travel play on a 7v7 field. We recognize there are many options for soccer in the area but our hope is that Warrington Soccer can be a place where your children can start, learn and grow, and find the right balance of competition throughout their time playing youth soccer. It is equally important to understand that growth of players is not linear. Warrington Soccer offers many options in both Intramural and Travel, and that ultimately we want to create an environment where a player’s long-term growth is front and center.

Please reach out to the Travel Coordinator with any questions and see the detail document for more information.
