Soccer

Lollipop soccer is offered for preschool children. Lollipop soccer is a perfect way to get your child familiar with the rules and skills needed for soccer. Children are divided up into teams of 6-8 players. They practice for 30 minutes and then scrimmage another team for the remaining 30 minutes. Lollipop takes place on St. Jude's fields on Wednesday evenings in the fall for 6 weeks and is $40.00 per player. Each participant is given a team t-shirt and a snack and drink after each practice.

 

SAY soccer is for students in  incoming Kindergarten - 8th grade. St. Jude is part of the Western Cincy Soccer Association, which is a division of SAY Soccer. Uniforms are included. Children must be in Kindergarten in order to be eligible to play. You can get more information about our league by visiting https://www.wcsasoccer.com/ (https://www.wcsasoccer.com/).
