Almost Sign-Up Time for Kirkland Pee Wee Soccer

Kirkland Parks and Rec is looking for kids 3 to 6 and volunteer coaches for its Pee Wee Soccer League, which is signing up players now and will hit the field starting April 30.

“This league is pretty much about understanding the fundamentals of soccer,” said NeSha Thomas, a parks and rec coordinator. “We promote socialization – making friends – and sportsmanship. We don’t keep score.”

There are two divisions, ages 3 to 4 and 5 to 6. The season is six weeks long and games – 40 minutes long preceded by 20 minutes of practice -- are played at the BEST High School field in Houghton. The cost is $60, and the kids gets a T-shirt, and at the end of the season, a medal.

If you’ve never watched a pee-wee soccer game, they’re a blast. The kids have fun, get great exercise and are introduced to the most popular team sport in the world.

Registration starts March 21. See kirklandparks.net or call 425-587-3300.
