Winter Game Schedule

Start Date has been pushed back to January 18, 2022
Some of our Divisions still need a COACH

Scroll to the Second Page to see the Start of the game schedule below

Originally, winter soccer was going to start on the 15th. Due to the All-Star games that are being played on the 15th, many volunteers were not able to attend the first winter game of the season. Also, we still need volunteers to coach a Winter team. Therefore, winter soccer has been pushed back to January 18, 2022
Once we have all our volunteer coaches in place, we can build the teams and start to fill the schedule below.
Scroll to the second page of the excel to see when the first game is.
