When can my child enter the field/playing area? – Sessions are scheduled back to back.  Players may enter the field to set their bags down about 2 minutes before their session begins.  A coaching staff member will help with this transition.

Zones: SuperKick + A = if your child’s team is assigned to SuperKick and Zone A, players may wait in the SK/main lobby.

Zones: B, C and D = if your child’s team is assigned to Zones B,C, or D, players may wait in the TeamZone lobby at the end of the long hall.

(4)  What should my child wear to training?
Players are expected to wear their CFC training gear (Grey CFC t-shirt, black shorts and black socks). It is recommended that players bring their CFC training top and pants (warm up) incase the building is cool. Players are expected to wear soccer shoes – outdoor cleats or indoor shoes are both permissible. Children should not wear football spikes or basketball shoes. Please allow a few extra minutes to put the soccer shoes on inside the building; this helps prevent snow and salt from entering the playing area and will keep the turf in top condition.

Players are not supposed to wear their CFC game uniforms to practice.  Please save these items for games.

What should my child bring to training? – Players must bring their soccer ball and their very own water bottle. The CFC staff wants to help prevent the spread of illness. Children will not be allowed to share water bottles.

(5)  Goalkeeper Training – begins the week of January 2nd

Goalkeeper training is offered at a separate time so players can train with their team and the SK goalkeeper coaching staff.  The schedule has been shared with the coaches and team administrators.

(6)  SuperKick Liability Release, Rules and Spectator Viewing Areas

1. Liability Release/ Emergency Contact – all families must complete a Liability Release form. (attached) This form must be turned to the SuperKick front desk on your child’s first training day.

2. Facility Rules – please review the facility rules. Of important note…

a. Shoe Policy: the SK playing surface is great! Snow & salt damage the surface. Players are required to wear 1 pair of shoes into the building and then change into their soccer shoes.

b. Food – players and coaches are not allowed to have food on the playing field; food and gum must be consumed/thrown away in the waiting areas

3. Facility Layout/ Field Map (Spectator View Areas) – Parents are asked to watch training from either the SuperKick or TeamZone viewing areas. We ask that you not enter the playing areas to watch practice.
