The Fall 2023 season is scheduled to start on September 9th, 2023 through November 11th, 2023. We do not schedule games over Columbus Day Weekend.

Players arrive for their time slot, same time and field location each week, and work with a professional coach from our friends at the New England Revolution Academy for 25-30minutes. The second 30 minutes is spent playing a 4v4 game. For 1st grade, we follow the US Soccer 'Play-Practice-Play' model which we believe best affords the players the chance to develop their skills whilst maximizing FUN!
