Hello Westwood Youth Soccer Kindergarten Parents!
Kindergarten soccer is all about the kids having fun while learning basic soccer skills, teamwork, and good sportsmanship. We do not keep score and do not play goalies. We want players to have fun without a lot of pressure. All coaches use great activities provided by our Director of Coaching. Our job as parents and spectators is to cheer them on and encourage them to have fun and do their best!
Kindergarten soccer is a full-year program and there is no need to re-register for the spring season if your child played in the fall. Players generally remain on the same team and play during the same session for the spring season.
If a child DID NOT play in the fall season, and wishes to play in Spring 2025, please contact the registrar separately at registrar@westwoodsoccer.org. All newly-registered players will be assigned to a team/session by the end of March 2025.
This program is dependent on volunteers, and we encourage you to participate as a coach or assistant coach. No prior soccer experience is necessary—only commitment is to attend weekly games and bring your enthusiasm! If you are interested in volunteering, please email kindergarten@westwoodsoccer.org.
