Greetings!

 Welcome to the first edition of our newsletter, “Extra Time.” Thanks to everyone that e-mailed us with their thoughts for a name for our newsletter. The winner was Robin Pierce who wins one hour of floor space at The Soccer Center. We received dozens of e-mails with a lot of very good suggestions but our staff unanimously voted for the very appropriate and catchy Extra TimeWe will e-mail our newsletter on a semi-monthly basis to all our coaches, players and sponsors to keep you informed on what is going on in Vermont’s newest Premier Indoor Soccer facility.

 It is getting very busy here at The Soccer Center as we are getting ready to lay the new turf down. The new turf field has been delivered and our staff will be busy all weekend and early next week preparing the fields in both buildings.

 Just so that players and parents know where to go when they get here, you should take entrance “B” from Route 15 and follow the signs to the main parking lot. The Futsal leagues will be held in the North building (where the boards used to be) and the 7v7 leagues will be in the South building.

 We are in the process of posting league schedules to the website.  Our goal is to have the schedules for each league posted about one week in advance of the first game.  Continue to monitor www.thesoccercenter.org on a daily basis. Coaches will receive a telephone call and e-mail notifying them when the schedules are posted.  We appreciate your patience during the next two weeks as we work through the schedule process and put everything in place in the facility.

 To find the schedule for your team:

  • Go to www.thesoccercenter.org
  • Click on the large “Schedules, Scores and Standings” button on the front page
  • Click on Futsal or 7v7 depending on what league you are in
  • Click on the ‘age bracket league’ button on the left
 The schedules and standing pages will be updated after each day’s games.  All are encouraged to monitor the "Schedules, Scores and Standings" page on a regular basis for schedule information.

 All coaches/managers and players should plan to arrive at least 30 minutes early for the first week of games as we will need to complete rosters, collect player waiver forms and hand out game t-shirts.  Players must wear the specially designed t-shirts from The Soccer Center for each game. 

 

Opening Day

 All are invited to attend the ceremonial ‘first whistle’ marking the official opening in each building and this exciting event in the history of Far Post and Nordic Soccer Clubs.
