The Fall KiXX Developmental program will include a one-hour training session every Monday night for 8 weeks. No Developmental sessions will overlap with the O&S Soccer League. This program is designed to be clinical in nature, focusing solely on footwork and agility. There will be no games and no scrimmages as a part of this program. As such, kids are encouraged to sign up for both the Developmental program and the O&S league. As the instruction of these sessions is meant to be more involved than a recreational league, all players must be evaluated prior to making the team. Call us for a personal evaluation date. It is free to be evaluated, but players are required to pay the fee upon making the program. Age: 6-7 Limit: 10/20 Location: Sports Park Field #1 Bar Code Date 8954 (Clinic) Sept -Oct
