3v3 Winter Recreational Programme

Last updated: September 2020

 

3v3 Recreational Programme Description

 

This is the introductory level of soccer at Ottawa TFC.  Whether you are new to the sport and want to try it out or have experience playing but don’t wish to play at a competitive level, this is the programme for you!  Test the sport and play for the enjoyment of playing.  In this fun atmosphere, players will learn how to be comfortable with the ball at their feet, grow as players and will expand their love of the game.

 

Because school gyms are not available, this season, we will be heading to our indoor soccer fields!  All divisions will play at the Superdome Sports Centre in Gloucester (on Bearbrook Rd) on Saturdays from 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM (09h00 to 10h00).  This will be a fun "3v3" league in which players will have lots of "time on the ball" at every session.

 

Get your long-sleeves on and come play!

Volunteers: Due to the extra requirements of managing COVID-19 protocols, the club will be charging the $50 non-volunteer fee for the winter season.  The good news is that there are lots of opportunities to volunteer!  Every field needs a Field Marshal to verify the attendance and health status of each player, and parents who are comfortable being Game Leaders are very much invited to help run the 3v3 games.  Indicate that you want to volunteer when you register your player!
