Spring Season Information
Spring Season
Preseason - March and Early April. We start the season with technical training twice a week at the Sports Park. (Typically a weekday evening and Sunday.) The goal is to get back working with ball and to get to know your team and coach.
In Season Practice - Mid April-end May. Team training will be twice a week on the appropriate sized grassfield in the Upper Valley. Typically training is in Norwich, Hanover or Lebanon. The focus of these trainings is on skill develop and team elements, such as positions, shape, team play, style of play, set pieces and game management.
Club Skills Day - Friday from mid April-end of May. Each Friday during the season the Club hosts a skills day where all of the coaches are present and all teams work through a skills development session focused on activities like dribbling, defending, 1 v 1, and shooting. Goalkeeper specific training is also offered during these sessions. These sessions give the kids a chance to interact with kids beyond their team and for all coaches to get to know all of the kids in the club.
Games - We plan to play in the NH Soccer League. The regular season runs from April 16- June 5. Playoffs are June 11/12. Teams will have approximately 7 games, with approximately half being home games. Our home game fields have not yet been determined.
Tournament - Memorial Day - Each team will play in one tournament, likely over Memorial Day weekend. In the past, we have played in the Seacoast Tournament in So. NH and in the tournament hosted in the suburbs of Boston. We will make this determination by the end of March.
Additional Tournament - Teams are welcome to organize an additional tournament, such as the Nordic Cup in June in Burlington (Father’s Day Weekend). This tournament requires additional funding from the families as it is not included in the travel team fee.
