The Spring Westbrook In-house soccer program is an eight week long season of pure, clean soccer fun played inside a dome. The main emphasis is on creating enthusiasm for the sport in children. This is achieved through skill drills, an everybody plays attitude, and the devotion of our coaches. Teams range in size between 6 and 10 players depending on the needs and ability levels of the children. Games are Played every Sunday on turf inside the Portland Sports Complex (next to Jokers).

Season Runs:

Sunday April 20 th through Sunday June 22 nd 2008. We will not play May 4 th due to a home show at the “dome“ and May 25 th due to memorial Day weekend.

What's New?: The Westbrook Soccer league has a new three pronged approach to the education of our soccer players. First we are going to expand our game times for the 7-13 year olds to full 45 minutes. Second we are implementing a league wide routine practice schedule to better hone their skills. Third an opportunity to work on the more technical aspects of soccer with Tim Gillis, the high school soccer coach, and his players.

Practice : We have implemented a regular practice schedule to our In-house soccer program. It runs every Wednesday starting April 23 rd from 5-6 p.m. at the East Bridge Street Field . ( Directions at the bottom) It is open to all ages 3-13 who are league players and their parents. We ask all children 6 and under to have a parent present on the field. There will be a minimum of 4 coaches at every practice to work on skills and techniques more closely with our players. This is voluntary practice but one we encourage all our players to take advantage of and also for our parents to get involved with. If sufficient numbers warrant it we have reserved the Walker Street field as well, to expand the practice.

Weather concerns: We will play every Sunday as long as the driving conditions allow it. We will practice every Wednesday at the East Bridge Street Field ( Directions at the bottom) as long as it is not raining and field conditions allow for it.

Facility Responsibilities : The Portland Sports Complex has allowed us to continue our seasons with them in part because of the respect we have shown the facility in the past. It is our duty to keep the facility clean. I enlist all of us, coaches, players, and parents, to please help clean up after each game.
