Future Legends - Spring League 2024

I am excited to get the Future Legends players up and running this spring. This is the next step in the Happy Feet / Legends player pathway. These teams practice once and week and will have a game on Saturday mornings.

Practice:

  • Practice starts March 27th at WSU Metro Plex - Click Here for Directions

  • Practice is 1 hour a week (Wednesdays) from 6pm - 7pm. (Practice run 3/27 thru 5/8)

  • We will be on Field 1 (South Field)

  • Bring a water bottle, size 3 ball. cleats, with shinguards and socks covering them,

The plan for practice this season is to have each team a designated coach. They will work with the children at practice and on game days. Coach Meurig will be working with coaches and children making sure the curriculum is followed and the children are having a good time learning.

Games:

1st game day is April 6th. Plan to show up at the designated time. You don't need to show up early to warm up. We will do a warm up and game in the hour.
