Registration for JCSA Summer Sessions is now open for all 5-11 year-old girls! The program helps girls improve their soccer skills by playing small-sided games and focusing on a different core skill each week, including dribbling, shooting, passing and field position.
They are held at the Caven Point Sports Complex on Sundays July 13th – August 4th from 5:15pm – 6:30pm. Participants do not have to be affiliated with the JCSA or live in Jersey City, but JCSA players registered for the 2013-2014 season play free ($10 suggested donation) and new players pay $10 to cover insurance.
As always with all JCSA events, players should have shin guards, water and a parent / legal guardian near the field at all times.
