Youth Soccer Summer Pick-up Games Underway on Sundays

Summer pick-up games on Sunday evenings are underway through Labor Day.

On Sunday, Medfield Youth Soccer re-launched its annual Summer Pick-up Program where children in grades 1 to 8 can drop in on Sunday evenings from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. for free summer game play. 

Organizers John Thompson and Mark Tarallo say the July 21 session brought out about 35 kids who were divided into three games based on age.  

The program is managed by current youth soccer coaches and is designed to provide the children an extra opportunity for some soccer playing.  
 
Details of the program include:

  • Who: Children in Grades 1 to 8 can drop in (no registration needed)
  • What: Summer Sunday Pick-up Games
  • Where:  fields behind Wheelock School, Elm Street
  • When:  Sundays, July 21 through Sept. 1 from 5 to 6:30 p.m.
  • Why: To improve soccer skills for regular season or just for fun
  • How: Through free play (no drills, coaching, etc)
  • Cost: Free, no registration needed
The on-site organizers will loosely group the players in age groups to insure players of similar age and sex are playing together.  After the players are organized into groups they will divide themselves into teams and play games.  There will be no coaching, drills or refs, this will be completely free play.  

There is no cost to play and no need to register.

If you have any questions about the program please contact John Thompson at jthompson@clearhealthstrategies.com or Mark Tarallo at marktarallo@yahoo.com.
