1 Middle School Intramural Soccer League 2019 General Information The purpose of this league is for players to develop the fundamentals of soccer and to allow them opportunities to become leaders through empowerment, encouragement, and teamwork. All who sign up will be placed on a team with students of their own gender and grade level. Players will be assigned to a team to promote equality among all teams.

The four middle schools that will be represented are: Summit View Woodland Turkey Foot Twenhofel All games will be played at one of the three high school soccer fields. Games will be played on Saturdays between 12-4pm. Practice time will be available for all teams 60 minutes prior to their game time at the game site. Games will begin on Saturday, March 23rd and will end on May 25th. (No games will be held on Apr 13th or Apr 20th- the Saturday before and after Spring Break) All coaches will be volunteer coaches and will be required to attend a mandatory coaches meeting with the school s activities coordinator. They must be on the approved volunteer list at central office, which requires a background check. The cost of the league is $35.00 per child.
