2010 Large Skills Training (updated 2/15/10)

NESA (North East Soccer Association) is offering large skills soccer training for the upcoming Winter 2010 season.

Large skills training is finishing, receiving and turning, heading, long range passing, group play, fast breaks and goals!

Here are the revised times and dates (all of them are Saturdays):

Feb 20 and 27, 9 am to 10 am
March 6 and 13, 12 pm to 1 pm
April 10, 9 am to 10 am.

There wasn't an available time for the originally scheduled March 27 date. I wanted to stay with a Saturday, so I selected April 10th instead. Partly because it's not part of the ISD 622 spring break week.

For those of you who haven't yet signed up for large skills training, and these later start times appeal to you, you can sign up for the remaining 5 sessions for $40. Bring your check, made out to NESA, and the NESA Medical Release Form (if we don't have one already for this year) to the next session.

If a medical release form was submitted for NESA Soccer 2009/2010 Small Skills Training that waiver will also apply to Large Skills Training. Please note with payment if a medical release form was submitted for Small Skills Training

The skills training will be run by the NESA training staff.

If you have any questions contact Dave Morck, NESA Technical Director at nesasoccer@gmail.com
