SMALL SIDED GAMES @ MSU

The small sided games will be held today (Sunday @ 1:00). This is a great opportunity for the boys to mix it up and work on the skills they are developing. The emphasis is on just letting them play.

Sprague field is on the Montclair State University campus just off Normal Avenue. Park in the Montclair Heights train station on Normal Ave, just off Upper Mountain Ave. The field is right across Normal Ave from the train station.

Content Contributions

If anyone has any pictures or links they would like to share, please send them to me at giancarlojulie@yahoo.com
I try to cover both teams, but since I am not on the mailing list for the White Team and am not able to make most of their games, if any White Team parents would like to contribute to the blog with brief game recaps, pictures, etc, please email me with your contributions.

Thanks,
