IT IS TICK SEASON - always be on the lookout!

Spring is here and with the warmer weather some great things, like spring flowers, will be happening outside. But along with the pretty flowers come some not so welcome things, like ticks. Over the last few decades ticks have spread across more of the United States and with them come the diseases they carry. Visit the CDC website for information on how to protect yourself, your family and your pets and the measures to take if you find a tick.

Lincoln Park PAL Summer Soccer Programs
 
Registration is now open for the Lincoln Park PAL Summer Soccer Program.  All registrations will be held online at Lincoln Park Soccer through June 9th.

Summer Soccer - The PAL summer in-town soccer program is a 6 week co-ed program that runs mid-June through July for current grades 1 - 8.  All games are played at Boro Field or Lanes Field.  Games are held Monday - Friday at 6:00, 7:00 or 8:00. There are no games scheduled on the weekends unless rain forces us to. Since the main objective of the summer soccer program is fun, don't worry about missing a few weeks due to vacation.  It's expected and is the main reason we don't keep standings.

Soccer Developmental Clinic - The NEW & UPDATED PAL soccer clinic is for Boys and Girls born in 2012 or 2013 that are currently in Pre-K (must be going into K in fall) and kindergarten(1st grade in fall). The soccer clinic is held Wednesday evenings from 6:15 - 7:30 at Boro Field starting mid-June and running through July. The six week clinic teaches the children fundamental skills of soccer. The children will learn through an age appropriate format and a fun environment. The first half of each session will be ball related skills games and the second half will be small soccer games.

Fall Travel Soccer – Please visit Lincoln Park Soccer  for teams looking for players.
