Newton Girls Soccer Skill Development Program for grade 1

To: All Grade 1 Players,

 Registration is now open for the NGS Grade 1 Skills Development Program

In order to provide top professional soccer training within Newton Girls Soccer, we offer a Skills Development program (SD).  This program provides training once/week for players, and for the first time it is being offered for players in Grade 1.  The program has been a huge hit with players in Grade 2 & 3 over the last few seasons.  The goal of the SD program is skill development for players interested in further developing their soccer skills beyond the regular training schedule with their regular NGS team. It is open only to NGS players that are registered to play in the NGS Grade 1 Saturday program this spring (or were registered for fall 2009).

It is widely believed that teaching soccer skills and fundamentals like passing, shooting/lace-kicks, etc. is much easier with younger players.  If your daughter loves soccer, and wants to improve her skills, this program is ideal for her.
