Street Soccer - Winter

Burlington
11/24/25 - 3/9/26
VIEW

“SESA Street Soccer” is a pickup style free play program that provides players an opportunity to use their skills and creativity while playing in loosely structured games against similar aged players. This format allows players to try new things, find success, be challenged, to learn from older and more experienced players, and to demonstrate leadership by guiding and playing with younger players. Staff organize and supervise play, at times coaching, but largely encouraging players to try new things and challenge themselves. This format maximizes the number of touches each player has and makes a huge impact on a player’s growth and development.

  • Mondays night from Nov 24th to March 9th ( Break Dec 22nd and 29th)
  • $5 fee at the door (cash only) – Must be register and completed online waiver prior to participation.
