Ahoy Landlubbers!!!

Soccer Island is coming to Orwigsburg Fun Day!!!!

This year will be the Blue Mountain soccer club's first Fun Day ever. We are really looking forward having a lot of fun with the kids!

Date and Time: August 30, 3:30-5:30. This follows the speed and agility training at Auburn for those of you with older kids participating there from 1-3.

Location: Developmental Fields, next to the BMEE.

Children will participate as a team. Check with your coach to find out where your team will assemble.

Children will need:

  • Shin Guards and Sneakers or Cleats
  • Soccer Ball (please write your name on your ball if you haven't already done so.)
  • Water

Activities include: Treasure Quest 2009 Face Painting, Soccer 'Pirate' Games, An Obstacle Course and a Parent/Child Relay

The Under Eight Division will Scrimmage to get some extra practice in for next year!

Each soccer player will be given a free snack, drink and prize from the treasure chest, compliments of the Blue Mountain Soccer Club.

Snacks and Drinks will be available at the Blaggards Inn (Concession Stand) for siblings and families.

Two Parent Volunteers are needed from each team: One to help with Fun Day Activities on the 30th.  One to donate a baked good.

Please contact Lori Cassidy at thehopalongs@comcast.net to help with Fun Day Activities or Laurie Fenstermacher at laurief@gowithpma.com to donate a baked good, or email your coach(s).

We are looking forward to seeing all of our soccer-lovin' scalli-wags on the 30th!

 
 
 
The Purpose  Minimize
 
   
The Blue Mountain Soccer Club's Developmental program is designed to develop the skills of young players, assist the volunteer coaches in learning the game and to provide a forum for fun.  This program can not be successful without volunteers.  Our developmental teams consist of age levels U-5 thru U-8.  Team sizes are kept small in order to increase player time, allow for as many "touches" on the ball as possible, and assist coaches in teaching very vibrant, inquisitive players.  The age groups play in-house on local fields in the Orwigsburg and surrounding communities.  The concepts and overall purpose are easy:  "KIDS COME FIRST".

Key Program Concepts:
1.  Specific soccer skill goals set for each age level
2.  Practices are designed for introducing/developing soccer skills
3.  Structured games are formed to apply learned skills and understand rules of the game
4.  All players play as close to 50% minimum in each game
5.  All players rotate through all positions on field to continue to learn the responsibilities of a position
6.  All games are non-competitive and scorekeeping is discouraged
