Each player needs to have a soccer ball, shin guards, and soccer shoes without a toe cleat. Gym shoes are acceptable. A soccer uniform will be provided and is included in the registration fee. How long is the VIP season and when are the practices / games? The VIP season lasts for 9 weeks beginning in late August. The practices / games are held back to back for one hour total on Saturday mornings. A schedule with dates and times will be available in August. What are the practices / games like? The practices / games are held back to back for a total of one hour. We begin with a warm-up, then practice and drills, and finish with a game. The coaches will act as the referees and stay on the field at all times. VIP does not keep score. Do I have to stay for the practice / game? Yes, a parent or parent designee must be present for each player at every practice / game. What is a Buddy? Every VIP player will be assigned a Buddy. A Buddy is a non-disabled peer volunteer who helps guide the VIP player on the field. This may be through verbal prompts, physical assists if needed, and lots of encouragement and praise! How can I become a Buddy?
If you are between the ages of 10 and 18 and would like to volunteer as a Buddy for the VIP program, please contact Scotte Rorabaugh at 330-688-9593 or vip@twinsburgsoccer.com.
