With baseball season beginning to wind down, it’s not too soon to start thinking about the upcoming soccer season. Andover Recreation Soccer, members of the Merrimack Valley Soccer League, offers individual skill development and competitive team play for Andover youth in grades one through six. First and second graders meet on Saturday mornings, in the fall, to work on basic ball handling skills. The third through sixth graders continue to learn ball skills, rules of the game, and strategy techniques while competing in games with teams from surrounding towns.

For the 2013 season, we will be in need of coaches for our first and second grade coed skills clinic and our third/fourth grade teams. If your child will be playing this year, please consider coaching!

There will be a “live” sign-up on Saturday morning, June 8, at Blackwater Field from 9 AM until 10 AM. Or, you can download the form by visiting www.mvsl.org, click on “Contact Us”, then on Andover Recreation Soccer, and put it in the mail. As always, there is a financial incentive to register by June 30 – the price goes up after July 1.

If you have any questions about the program, please don’t hesitate to e-mail me at AndoverSoccer@nulltds.net.
