[homeschoolhub] Soccer for Everyone! Mon. 6/25, 3-5 p.m.

 

If you've been putting off your first soccer game because you don't know the rules or you are not sure of your skills, today is your day. Since I'm limping this week, I'll be on the sidelines teaching the rules and the skills to newbies of all ages. (If you are old enough to walk into the ball and young enough to stay upright afterwards, come and join us!)

Of course, y'all are also welcome to join the rest of the gang on the big field. Looks like a great day for it!

Everyone is welcome regardless of age, or level of skill or fitness.

Mon. 6/25, 3-5 p.m. at Howard Park at the corner of Jefferson Blvd. and St. Louis Blvd in South Bend.

world that believe anyone can make almost anything. Participants learn
about mechanical and software design, problem solving, and teamwork
skills. Students will complete several projects and mini challenges.

[homeschoolhub] Soccer of Course! Mon, 6/11, 3-5 p.m.

 

Soccer fans have been asking: why no Sunday notice of today's soccer game? Has it been cancelled? Horrors!!

Rest assured. The game continues. You can thank me (tired and easily distracted) for the late notice. Thank Herbie (young and conscientious) that the notice is going out at all.

Everyone is welcome regardless of age, or level of skill or fitness.

Mon. 6/11, 3-5 p.m. at Howard Park at the corner of Jefferson Blvd. and St. Louis Blvd in South Bend.

Re: [homeschoolhub] New member

 

Thanks for all of the information, Andrea!  I talked to another homeschooler about the Niles and Berrien Springs programs and we are looking forward to doing that when my son's in 1st grade. We should be moved up there by August, so it sounds like I learn a lot from that meeting.  We would love to get together at a park or something!    April --- On Sun, 6/10/12, Andrea Bikfalvy <andreamom001@gmail.com> wrote: From: Andrea Bikfalvy <andreamom001@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [homeschoolhub] New member To: homeschoolhub@yahoogroups.com Date: Sunday, June 10, 2012, 4:12 PM   April, Welcome.  We'll be holding an Info Night in August where you can find out more about groups and opportunities in the area.  Also, while your kids are in 1st-12 grade, there are two great programs you can check out...one in Niles, MI and one in Berrien Springs, MI.  Either one allows your kids to take classes like art, swimming, dance, Robotics, violin lessons, choir, theater, etc. and the school system pays for it.  Students must be MI residents to participate.  (High school students can take college classes for dual credit, also.)

[homeschoolhub] Soccer in the Summer, Mon. 6/4, 3-5 pm

 

Sure, it's a time for relaxation, vacation, meditation and renewal. But let's not let the lazy, hazy part of summer overwhelm us. Sometimes we need a crazy, heart-pounding romp in the grass.

Come to the season opener. No commitment required. We think you'll be back!

Everyone is welcome regardless of age, or level of skill or fitness.

Mon. 6/4, 3-5 p.m. at Howard Park at the corner of Jefferson Blvd. and St. Louis Blvd in South Bend.

P.S. Who turned 16 since last game? (Hint: Not me.)
