WESTSIDE WARRIORS MICRO PROGRAM FORMAT CHANGE

Over the past couple of years, Westside changed our fall Micro program (K-1st grade) from a six week to an about thirteen week program (matching our other age groups). Starting this spring, we will make another adjustment to the program: We we will split boys and girls into separate teams/games, like our other age groups. If a girl's family wants her to play on a boys team, they can individually request this on their online or paper registration.

We have seen a decline in the number of girls registering in all of the recreational clubs in the area and all clubs are moving to this model. The Club understands that this will cause distress and disruption, but we need to create a environment that promotes the growth of the girls side of soccer. Westside selected to do this with spring soccer because the shorter season will allow us to work out any issues. We know that change in programs is hard and confusion happens when moving from one season to another.

We have been ask to also split kindergarten and first grade children into separate groups. We will keep our eyes on this, but we want to limit the changes to dividing boys and girls at this time.

We value your participation and trusting us with your children. Thanks for your time and allowing your players to take part in our programs.
