 Street Soccer is played purely for the love of the game.  Street Soccer is not played for trophies. It is played  purely for fun. 
 PTSA has run this program in the past with great success. We know that everyone who participates will have a great experience.

Who:  Grasshopper through U12, registered PTSA players No pre-registration required                 Wear soccer gear, bring ball (with name/phone # on it), and plenty of water   Place & Time:      Saturdays: May 3, 10, 17 5-7 pm  in Peterswood Park Soccer Complex   Goal: Players get a feel for "street soccer" where they're in control of the game and largely supervise themselves; they can play free of the fear of making mistakes in front of adults, and they can be creative on the soccer field and experiment with learned or self-invented moves.   Schedule:   20 minutes    n PTHS Varsity Soccer players will teach individual soccer techniques n The use of 1 v 1  match related activities will help players perfect their skills against the opposition in more demanding situations.   100 minutes   n Participants play "street soccer" in a "pick-up" game environment n  Small sided teams are randomly assigned; play 5-10 minutes on a rotational basis n  No adult coaching, refereeing or feedback: the kids play games (supervised by PTSA coaches), where they motivate themselves, figure out how to use the learned techniques and play in a fear-free environment.   Questions?
