Ottawa Internationals Soccer Club-OISC
Women’s Soccer Fitness (So-Fit) 2011/2012 Winter Program
The Ottawa Internationals S.C. offers mothers, aunts and older sisters of club members and anyone else who is interested the opportunity to improve their fitness level and learn more about the game of soccer.
The sessions are based on fitness training and soccer skills. There is no prerequisite for knowing the game of soccer or its rules and beginners are most welcome. Training will be conducted by qualified instructors under the guidance of our Club Head Coach, Roy Hillier MPE and MBE.
Coaches from the Ottawa Internationals put the players through some drills: passing, receiving passes, kicking, heading and controlling the ball. They then learn some tactics in game play: give and go, moving to space, crossing the ball and attacking the net.
This winter, in an effort to accommodate as many players as possible, we are offering 2 sessions on Saturday mornings at Vision Jeunesse High School. The first session is from 9:00 – 10:45 and the second session from 11:00 – 12:45. In order to maintain the quality of the program each session is capped at 20 players. They run for a total of 14 weeks starting Saturday November 5, 2011 and ending Saturday February 25, 2012.
Players must bring a size 5 ball and have jerseys which can be purchased through the registration form. It is strongly recommended to wear shin pads. Any athletic shoe suitable for a gymnasium can be worn although there are good indoor soccer shoes available at most sporting stores.
First time jitters are common at So-Fit, and they usually last about 5 minutes, or as long it takes to kick a ball a few times, make your first pass or master the fine art of dribbling between pylons. With all the women learning skills and rules together there is no pressure to perform and lots of support and coaching. It usually takes less than 1 hour of So-Fit soccer for a participant to get hooked on the game. As a by-product, women become fitter, sorer but happier.
The cost is $115 + 14.95 HST = $129.95 which does not include a required soccer ball.
Women So-Fit jerseys are also priced separately.
