Northfield Soccer Association

In-house and Academy registration is OPEN! Join us for soccer this spring and summer! Fees, scholarship info, and registration details are available below and on our website: www.northfieldsoccer.org/registration

ABOUT IN-HOUSE
Our In-House program is a non-traveling, recreational soccer program for kids ages 4-8. We meet Tuesday and Thursday evenings from May 23 to June 29 at the Spring Creek Soccer Complex, where we train, play games, and have fun. Players are grouped by birth year at the following levels: 2019 (U4), 2018 and 2017 (U6), 2016 and 2015 (U8)

ABOUT THE ACADEMY
The Academy is a developmental program for players ages 8-10 that bridges the transition between In-House and Traveling soccer. Open to kids born in 2013 (U10) and 2014 (U9), the Academy offers players the chance to get significant time with the ball under the supervision of veteran coach Gabe Kortuem, who provides feedback and guidance on technical skills and team play. The Academy season begins April 24 and concludes July 8. We meet on Mondays and Thursdays at the Spring Creek Soccer Complex for the first three weeks and will add a third night on Wednesdays for the remainder of the season to accommodate internal friendly games.

REGISTRATION & FEES
Registration is open now and closes on April 19 for Academy and May 1 for In-house. Fees cover the cost of the program and jerseys. All players are also required to provide their own soccer cleats (tennis shoes are permitted for in-house), shin guards, a water bottle, and a soccer ball (size 3 for U4 and U6; size 4 for U8 and Academy).

U4 – $65
U6 – $80
U8 – $90
U9 and U10 (Academy) – $175

Scholarships are available. Please contact Tammy Seymour at admin@northfieldsoccer.org to learn more or request a scholarship. Scholarship recipients do not have to make any copayments at the time of registration.

Your child will love the fun and creativity of our new, innovative indoor tennis program! All aspects of tennis will be taught and practiced in an engaging way using unique training equipment and drills.
