Welcome to BLAST -- Where you and your kids will have a BLAST playing soccer.
We are excited to be announcing our BLAST program. We are kicking off this spring (2010) with the U8 kids and hopefully extending it this spring to U9 and maybe even U10. Ultimately BLAST will include all kids not playing travel soccer from U6 to U12. BLAST is three dimensional, reaching coaches, parents, and the kids. We are developing a program that insists that your child is learning the fundamentals of soccer and developing skills for the future while having a BLAST. BLAST does not discriminate: We are here to develop all of our kids, so BLAST will focus on recreation soccer and allow the kids to grow.
Our Vision: Building Lasting Achievement in Soccer Today
Our Mission: Involving the community and coaching and parent education to create a fun environment for kids to learn soccer.
