Newton Girls Soccer Kindergarten Program

The kindergarten soccer program offered by Newton Girls Soccer is the only program in Newton designed specifically to match the physical and emotional development of young girls.

Sessions typically run on Saturday mornings at Bowen Field in Newton Centre. The 60-minute program emphasizes fun, teamwork and positive encouragement. Players engage in soccer learning activities led by the NGS Professional Coaching Staff, then play small-sided (4v4) scrimmages. Players will be placed on teams typically organized by school with a parent coach assigned to help with organization and game management. This is a great way to build out your daughters social connections and friendships as she enters this new exciting chapter. Many long lasting friendships start here.

The season starts September 10th and teams are being formed now. Registration is scheduled to close on August 31st. More information about the program can be found here: http://newtongirlssoccer.org/home/schedules/juniors-kindergarten/
