Spring 2012

Dear Soccer Parents and Players,

The Wattles Park Men's Club will start Spring Soccer with games to be played on Saturdays on the following dates: May 5, 12, 19, 26 June 2 and 9.

This will be the 11th year for Spring Soccer at Wattles Park.  Last year saw over 1,000 boys and girls take part in the program, and we expect another increase this spring.

We now possess eight excellent fields (located behind the Wattles Park Elementary School) to operate a Spring program.  Our fields all possess underground sprinkler systems and are well-maintained.

We are continuing to make the cost as reasonable as possible at only $30 per player.  Each player will receive a T-shirt.  All players MUST have shin guards.  We will make soccer socks available for purchase.

Since the WPMC operates youth recreation programs on a year-round basis we are able to schedule games and matches that do not overlap.  Our baseball/softball/T-Ball programs start playing games the week of May 14th.  Baseball/Softball/T-Ball games will be played during the week (but not on Saturday).  Therefore, boys and girls can participate in both programs (Spring Soccer and Baseball/Softball/T-Ball) with no game conflicts.

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 and well-organized athletic activity.

The Spring Outdoor Soccer Program is open to everyone in the Greater Battle Creek Area. The program is divided into ten leagues:

1. Mighty Mite Boys - for Kindergarten Boys and those Boys that are Pre-Kindergarteners (eligible for Kindergarten in September 2012)
2. Division 1 Boys - 1^st and 2^nd Grade Boys
3. Division 2 Boys - 3^rd and 4^th Grade Boys
4. Division 3 Boys - 5^th and 6^th Grade Boys
5. Division 4 Boys - 7^th, 8^th and 9^th Grade Boys
6. Mighty Mite Girls - for Kindergarten Girls and those Girls that are Pre-Kindergarteners (eligible for Kindergarten in September 2012)
7. Division 1 Girls - 1^st and 2^nd Grade Girls
8. Division 2 Girls - 3^rd and 4^th Grade Girls
9. Division 3 Girls - 5^th and 6^th Grade Girls
10. Division 4 Girls - 7^th, 8^th and 9^th Grade Girls
