Emerson Eagles REC Indoor Fuzzy Ball
We are trying something new this year to involve more players for winter soccer. Fuzzy Ball is played in a gym with a big yellow tennis ball. The rules are simple…everything is fair except the lights. It is a fun experience and helps develop fast passing and foot skills as well as fun spin on soccer.
Here are the particulars. YOU MUST PARTICIPATE IN REC TO BE ELIGILBLE FOR FUZZY. Due to limited gym space we are only able to field 4 teams in each division. They will be coed teams thru 5/6th grade. 7th and 8th will not be coed unless we do not get enough candidates at that level.
The groups will consist of 20 girls and 20 boys broken up into 4 teams that will play each other each week. We cannot take more than 20 per sex so it will be based on first come first serve basis. There will not be a try out. The Teams will be put together by the Emerson Eagles Soccer Board.
The groups are
1st and 2nd grade 4 teams
3rd and 4th grade 4 teams
5th and 6th grade 4 teams
7th and 8th grade 2 teams each sex in a pick up style.
Uniforms will be a t-shirt as part of registration. Your child can wear any short or sock color they have. They will need sneakers or indoor shoes and shin guards. Cost will be $65.00 per player. MAKE CHECKS PAYABLE TO FRIENDS OF EMERSON SOCCER. There will be two 20 minute halves and a 3 min halftime. Games will start and stop on time, so if you are late you can potentially miss half a game. We will have 2 Emerson Referees per game and we will be keeping a win/loss records for medals at the end of the season.
Play time is on Sundays only from 2:30 thru 9:30 starting Dec 4th thru March 18. We will also be participating in weeknight scrimmages with other towns like Montvale/Mahwah.
If you know your child cannot make this commitment due to other sport obligations, please do not take a spot from someone who can fully commit.
This is a new venture and as with any new venture we will have a learning curve. We hope to accomplish a fun experience for more Emerson REC players than we have been able to thru the PVISL league.
