The Saint James School Soccer season begins tomorrow evening (Wednesday, March 30th). Everyone who signed their child up for Soccer should have received an e-mail from Jon Sargent (who oversees our soccer program). If you have not received an e-mail from Mr. Sargent, please send him an e-mail asap to sjssoccer@charter.net so that your child gets assigned to a team and you get all the necessary information.
Practices (and many games) will be held at Charter Oak Park in Manchester (across from Carter Chevrolet). Parking is available in the South United Methodist Church/Manchester Chamber of Commerce parking lot (entrance is located on Hartford Road). Please use the crosswalk to cross the intersection (there is a “walk” button that can be used to stop traffic). Parents are asked to accompany their child across the street as it is a very busy intersection.
Please be sure players wear proper shoes, shin guards, and bring an appropriate size soccer ball and a water bottle. Please put your child’s name on the ball and water bottle.
