Greetings!

  Welcome to the mid-November edition of our newsletter, “Extra Time” with all the information you need on current and upcoming events at The Soccer Center. By now, hopefully everyone has been to The Soccer Center and has enjoyed playing in the new set-up for both our 7v7 and Futsal leagues. We received very good press for our “Opening Whistle” Ceremony on Wednesday, November 8 when Board Members of the Far Post and Nordic Soccer Clubs were joined by David Grimm from the CVE Board to officially open The Soccer Center. Channel 3 News, The Burlington Free Press and The Essex Reporter were all on hand to ensure a high profile start to our indoor season.  An article also ran in this week's issue of The Colchester Sun.

 We will be doing our best to keep all of our leagues updated on a daily basis with league scores and standings. Please check schedules through the website at www.thesoccercenter.org ~ click on the large orange "Schedules, Scores and Standings" button to find the standings and schedule for your team!
