2018 Chittenden Soccer Practice

Dear Athletes, Parents, Guardians, and Caregivers:


On behalf of the entire volunteer coaching staff let me welcome you to the Chittenden Delegation’s 2018 Soccer Program.


Special Olympics requires that a current medical be on site at every practice and competition. Please contact Dave Bogdan (dbogdan@ieee.org or 802-865-3840) to pre-register so that we can have your medical at practice. We no longer allow athletes to begin practice without a current medical. Medicals are good for three years from the date of exam.


We are happy to announce that this year’s program officially begins on Tuesday, August 21st at 5:45 pm at our practice field located at the Willey Family Farm in back of the Fairgrounds in Essex Junction. Take the back entrance to the Fairgrounds (also road to St James Church) right to the Fairgrounds gate and park in the stone parking area.  The fields are just to the right of the access road – roughly ¼ mile up from Route 2A.

Practices will be held every Tuesday and Thursday from 5:45 pm – 7:00 pm right up to the Special Olympics Vermont Statewide Tournament at Champlain Valley Union High School (CVU) on Saturday and Sunday, October 20th and 21st. Please note that it is a two day tournament!


You can expect that our coaches will be working with each athlete to have fun, to teach the game, to build a sense of teamwork and most importantly promote good sportsmanship in practice and in competition.


You can expect that our coaches will treat all athletes, parents, guardians, and caregivers with respect and ask you to provide that same level of respect to our coaches and to other athletes.
Like last year, we will be organizing athletes into groups to maximize their skill development while maintaining our focus on safety for all athletes. We have an expectation that each athlete will arrive wearing a team purple practice t-shirt, black shorts, soccer cleats, shin guards, with a water bottle, and a soccer ball --- ready to play.

As coaches, we have an expectation that athletes will arrive on time for practice and will be are picked up on time at the conclusion of practice --- as our volunteer coaches have commitments as well. We will also make an extra effort to end practice on time.


If you have an issue of concern, please call me at 802.598.3123 so we can resolve it as soon as possible.


Dedicated to keeping it fun, safe, and respectful,


Head Coach Giles Willey
