Summer 2009
Dear Adult Soccer Players,
The Wattles Park Men's Club will begin its 2009 Adult/High School Fall Season with games beginning Sunday, September 13th and lasting through October 24th. All teams play seven games. The WPMC's philosophy over the past 55 years has been to provide equal opportunities for boys and girls to participate in a wholesome, well-supervised athletic activities. The focus has always been on youth sports. The Spring Soccer Season saw the start of a very successful Adult/High School Spring Recreational Soccer League that served approximately 155 adults, playing on eight teams.
Because of that success, we are going to have a Fall League for Adults. Students that are playing for their high school boys' soccer teams in the Fall are ineligible to compete in this league. That is a MHSAA (Michigan High School Athletic Association) ruling that all schools in the Battle Creek area observe. However, since the Girls' High School season is in the spring, high school girls are eligible to participate.
Players that are making up their own teams should contact Gary Lincoln (979-4336) so that plans can be made ahead of time. Player numbers per teams should be from 18-20. Players that want to participate but do not have a specific team in mind may sign up individually or with a small group. We were able to place everyone on a team during the Spring Season and even created a new team with 18 individuals.
For those unfamiliar with the WPMC's Soccer Program: (1) All players receive a soccer jersey top; (2) Games are played on the West Field and the Olympic Field at the Wattles Park Elementary School, with games on Sunday afternoons, beginning at 1:00 P.M.; (3) There is a $30 per player fee to participate; (4) The WPMC is the largest year-round recreational volunteer youth organization in the state of Michigan, serving over 6,000 youths in the sports of Fall Soccer, Spring Soccer, Indoor Soccer, Baseball, Softball, T-Ball, Indoor Baseball, Floor Hockey, Volleyball, Basketball, Golf and Lacrosse; (5) The WPMC has been in operation for 55 years and is a 501 (c-3) tax-exempt organization as chartered by the Internal Revenue Service.
