Programs

The Dover Sherborn 3rd Grade Soccer program is a transition year from the club's introductory K-2 program to more competitive BAYS play which begins in 4th grade.  We accomplish this objective through a fun and engaging focus on skill development and modest competition levels.

Dover Sherborn 3rd Grade Soccer will run from April 6th. There will be no soccer April 20 or Memorial Day Weekend.

Based on parent and coach feedback, the Dover Sherborn 3rd Grade Soccer program has been revised for the 2011/2012 season.  Program specifics for the upcoming year are as follows: 

•  Integrated Dover Sherborn soccer program.
• All registered 3rd Grade Soccer players will be placed on a Boys or Girls U9 team.    There are no tryouts, and team placement is not based on ability.  All ability levels are encouraged to come out and play!
• Teams will be coached by volunteer parents.  Team assignment will be announced shortly after the close of 3rd grade registration.
• Each team will have one practice and one game per week.
• Practices will take place one weeknight per week and run for 90 minutes
• Each practice will consist of 2 components. 
  • A 60 minute session where all players will practice together.  This section of each practice will be run by MPS (Mass Premier Soccer). 
  • A subsequent 30 minute section where players will break into their respective teams and practice with their teammates and parent coaches
• Girls and Boys group practices will be run separately.  Girls will only practice with girls, boys will only practice with boys
• Uniforms will be provided for all players
• Practice's are on Thursday's: Boys from 4-5:15 and Girls from 5:30 to 7:00 pm at Laurel Farms in Sherborn.
• Games will be played Saturday mornings at 9:00 AM and be coached by parents.  Games will be 6 v 6 (i.e., not as managed in the K-2 program), with referees.  Games will be played against other Dover Sherborn 3rd grade teams.  Field location is TBD.
• Over the course of the season, both Boys and Girls 3rd Grade Soccer may have 2 or 3 games against Westwood.  Details of this are still being worked out.  If this were to happen, these games would also take place on Saturday morning, and would replace in town games for that week
