Chris Poole, Program Coordinator
The District 62 Competitive Middle School
Soccer Leagues are our house 6th, 7th and
8th grade leagues, redesigned to run at
your child's middle school. Practices
will be held immediately following dismissal,
on the school's soccer fields, and all games
will be played on Saturdays on the fields at
Prairie Lakes Community Center.
The league will be gender specific and
age appropriate. (Given the number of
participants.)
The competitive aspect of this league
includes your child representing their school
as they play against the other D62 Middle
Schools.
By joining this league your child will now get
to be more involved with their school, stay
active, and play in a positive environment.
Parents will have no concerns about
transportation to practice. They'll know
their kids are safe, active, learning good
sportsmanship... and having fun! We're all
looking forward to a great season.
Practices
Practices will include a compilation of drills
and games that focus on developing skills
and building team chemistry. All practices
will take place at your child’s school, once a
week on Wednesdays between 3:00–4:45p.

players will have the option to leave practice
early via the activity bus or be picked up by
