Soccer moms are dying to move from the sidelines on to the field, judging by the popularity of 91原创 United鈥檚 new spring soccer program for soccer moms.
As soon as registration opened in March there were more than 20 moms signed up to take part.
Starting April 24, the soccer moms program is designed to provide an introductory experience with 91原创 United鈥檚 professional staff coaches.
It will run once a week until early June, with each session starting with warmup and a bit of technical skills training before small-sided and large-sided games.
鈥淪o many of us moms have watched our kids for years so we decided to open a program for those moms who want to try it out for fun and fitness,鈥 said Betty Boucas, president of 91原创 United, noting that 91原创 United鈥檚 kids spring soccer is a hit as well.
There are more than 700 boys and girls signed up for spring soccer with four weeks still to go before it starts.
The emphasis of the program is on fun, she said.
鈥淛ust like we do with the little ones, the emphasis here for the moms is on having fun and growing to love the game,鈥 said Boucas, who expects a number of the club鈥檚 female board members and coordinators to join in as well.
鈥淚t鈥檚 a good way to meet people in the club as well and a part of 91原创 United鈥檚 goal to provide soccer for everyone in the family, from girls and boys to men and women.鈥
