What an exciting first practice ever for The Nordonia Hills Soccer Association. It was truly a thrill to see so many kids playing soccer in their new uniforms! Special thanks to everyone who helped get us ready for our first official day and to those parents who were patient with us. This is a new league and, with your help, will grow into a very strong youth soccer league!

As we have said before, we had around 100 more sign-ups than we anticipated. That has caused us to scramble to make sure the uniforms, practices and games are all set. As we enter into our second week of practice and our first week of games, we are confident we are prepared for a fun weekend of soccer.

For Thursday's practice, please have your player go to where they practiced last week. Make sure they are prepared with their full uniforms, shinguards, water bottle and whatever else they may need. Practice, as always, is at 6pm at Sagamore Park for ALL AGE GROUPS. Our game schedule is posted on the front of the website and is quite simple:

ALL U-1o PLAYERS play their games on Saturdays at Smith Park on Houghton at 9:30 EVERY WEEK.

ALL U-6 and U-10 PLAYERS play their games Saturdays at Sagamore Park at 11am EVERY WEEK.
