Skills Day

The Outdoor House League teams from U5 to U10 have a Skills Day to wrap up the soccer season.  All children will receive a trophy from the Milton Youth Soccer Club for their participation in soccer following the Skills Day Competition.  Hot dogs & drinks will be provided for each player (compliments of the Optimist Club).  This year Skills day will be on Saturday, August 21st, 2010.

All coaches MUST have your player evaluation forms in to be able to begin your Skills Day.  Evaluation forms can be downloaded from the website here.  If you are not going to be present on Skills Day, please complete the form ahead of time and have a parent from your team submit it or email it to your Convener.

Mini Skills Day (U5 to U7)

For teams that are playing on the mini fields, there will be a mini skills competition.  Each player on the team will undergo a series of events (such as shooting on target, time trials, etc) and collectively as a team there will be a score.  Click here for a description of the six events.

Skills Competition will be held at the Lions Soccer Fields behind Thompson Arena.  Please use arena parking lot.  Plan to arrive at least 15 minutes before your starting time.

For the Coaches:

Please gather your team on the south field (#2) near the Milton Youth Soccer table.  Once all teams have arrived you will be given your scoring sheets and coupons.  You will then be instructed as to which field your Skills Competition will begin on.  Remember to have a parent available to run your scoring sheets to the Optimists table immediately after each event.

Awards will be given to the three individuals with the highest point totals in each age group, and the team with the most points.  Points are also given for participation so bring a full team.  NOTE:  Skills Day scoring and awards are handled by the Optimist Club and have nothing to do with results of games throughout the year.  This is a non-competitive league and no standings are kept at these age groups.)
