Sparks and Flames ( Blue Sombrero Premium 4.2 )

	SPARKS AND FLAMES
Sparks Program The Concorde Fire Sparks program is open to all children 4-6 years old, on a first come, first served basis. It is an exceptional introduction to the joys of soccer. The program concentrates on providing young players with a solid foundation in basic soccer technical skills and instilling a love of the game. This is achieved through fun and challenging exercises and small-sided games. Flames Program There are no tryouts for the U8 Flames program. This program meets twice a week, and includes skill training as well as small-sided games. Sunday afternoon games will be played in a league format. While the emphasis is still on personal skill development, the players begin to get a feel for the bigger field, and the coaches can begin to incorporate the idea of field positioning. Teams are selected during the first week of the program by our coaching staff. Coach & Director The Sparks and Flames programs are directed and coached by Gregg Blasingame, Executive Director, as well as the Academy Director. They are assisted by their professional coaching staff and parent volunteers. Volunteer Coach Program Make your kid proud, volunteer to help with the Sparks & Flames. We are there to help you every step of the way. You will receive a practice guide and a training clinic, and a Concorde Fire T-Shirt! If you would be willing to help out in this capacity, please email Sue Moffett. Registration Interested players may register on a space-available basis. Because we understand that many young players have other interests which may preclude year-round participation, players may sign up for one season without committing for a full year. We are looking for volunteers to assist our coaches on the field. These volunteers will receive a t-shirt. Fees are $175 for Sparks (U6) and $225 for Flames (U8). This all-inclusive fee covers a uniform (one jersey with player’s name on back, one pair of shorts, and one pair of socks), coaches’ salaries, GYSA player registration fees, field maintenance, administration salaries, and a trophy for each player at the end of the season. Registration for the FALL '08 Season will be available in late July. Please register online at www.ConcordeFire.com Click on top left corner. If you have problems, email info@ConcordeFire.com
