U-5 Clinic
|
|
3&4 year old boys and girls will be placed in this clinic group together to learn the basics of soccer. Basic skills and team play will be taught in a small group format to allow all children to progress at their own pace. Individualized instruction will allow each child to learn as they feel comfortable. Each session will end with a 15-20 minute scrimmage. A Saturday morning session from the week after Labor Day through mid-November will be the only commitment required for this level. No weekday/evening practices will be required. This format provides a great opportunity for a parent to become involved and also earn their bond.

| U-6 & U-7 Clinic |
| The Tarkill boys and girls U-6 & U-7 Clinic provides basic fundamentals, supervised instruction, and the building of self-esteem. |
|
The main emphasis is always on the development of a positive environment for a child to grow their soccer knowledge physically as well as mentally in a healthy, free spirited approach. We ask you to help measure this development from day one in September through the indoor program into late March. A parent's encouragement is very important to this age and is the key ingredient to a child's interest and how far they develop in the program.

Recreation Travel League (5th through 8th Grades)
Tarkill Soccer Club is proud to announce a new opportunity for our Recreation club players. Tarkill has joined together with 3 local area soccer clubs; Haddon Heights, Barrington, and Lindenwold Soccer Clubs to form what we are calling the White Horse Pike “friendship” recreation league.
The goal of this new program is to allow those club members that do not participate in our traditional Boys & Girls Travel programs as they get older to play in an older youth recreation program. This new offering will allow Tarkill Soccer Club to fulfill it’s commitment of providing a place for every child to play the game of soccer and enhance the growth of the sport.
The format for this new league will be as follows:
1) Older Recreation players in grades 5th through 8th will be grouped into age appropriate CO-ED teams.
2) The teams will play an 8 v 8 format with goalies following the SJSL Travel rules. (see www.sjsl.org for 8v8 field layout and rules)
3) Teams entered into the league will play on Friday nights and some Saturday mornings.
4) Teams will follow a Home and Away schedule based on the number of teams formed within the league and age brackets.

| Indoor Soccer |
|
Tarkill strives to provide as much soccer as we can for our members. Over the past two years, we have teamed with local school boards and governments to offer free indoor soccer for our club members. We utilize local gymnasiums to provide free indoor soccer from January through March. The sessions are organized by age and are loosely structured "pick up" games. This allows children to just play the game with limited coaching and offers parents a program that they do not have to commit to. It is a great way for the kids to have fun, burn off some excess winter energy, and keep a ball on their foot!
