INFORMATION
FALL 2010
Merrymeeting Soccer Club
provides travel soccer opportunities for SAD 75 residents and
neighboring towns that do not have a Soccer Maine affiliated club. This
non-profit club is run by volunteers who are interested in promoting
youth soccer. The cost to play is $200 for the Fall 2010 season. The
fee includes a one week camp to be held in Topsham August 2-6 with
U-12, U-13 and U-14 players attending 9:00 - 12:00 and U-9, U-10 and
U-11 players attending 1:00 - 4:00. The season begins in early
September and ends by early November. Teams practice once or twice per
week as scheduled by the coaches. Games are played on Sundays with home
matches in Topsham and away games averaging within a half hour away
from Topsham. Home and away uniforms are provided. Teams will play in a
Columbus Day Weekend Tournament and a tournament at the end of the
season. To learn more about travel soccer in Maine, go to www.soccermaine.com.
Coaches for the teams are
usually parents with some background in soccer and/or coaching. Training
for coaches is available through the club. If you are interested in
coaching or assisting, please contact Bruce Jones at 353-2507 or niketuck@aol.com.
