Soccer West Families -
In this time of evolving uncertainty related to COVID-19, we are committed to providing a safe environment for your children. We have been closely monitoring recommendations from public agencies as we continue to assess our programming including training and games. As you know, various organizations and metro clubs are announcing decisions based on their own circumstances, and we continue to encourage individuals to make choices best for themselves, families and communities.
At this time, we have decided to follow the guidance of Iowa Soccer and US Youth Soccer in suspending all team activities until at least April 15. We will not be having any practices or games during this time. Although they are not mandating total suspension yet, we believe an abundance of caution is required at this time.
Please see the Iowa Soccer website for their announcement as well as FAQ.
At this time, we believe the season will take place following April 15, although it may be even later. Due to the later start, and the suspension of team activities, we will also be delaying other club activities such as Field Setup Day and the Coaches Meeting.
We will continue to keep you up-to-date as all of these are rescheduled. Please make sure to follow our website & FaceBook sites and include in your address book to make sure you receive future announcements.
Sincerely,
Matt Trettin & The Soccer West Board
About Soccer West Soccer Club
Soccer West began in 1977 with the central purpose of providing an opportunity for children and families to learn the game of soccer. Every spring and fall, several hundred of our players from all around Central Iowa can be seen competing at Aliber Fields in Des Moines, Iowa. Our beautiful complex, located south of Grand Avenue just east of 63rd Street, is one of the only club-owned complexes in the Greater Des Moines area.
Soccer West offers:
Kiddie Soccer (pre-K and K)
Boys, girls, and co-ed recreational soccer for ages U6 to U16
Fusion Select for boys and girls U14-U16
Adult soccer opportunities
Soccer West Soccer Club is driven by a dynamic group of volunteers, involved in everything from picking up trash on the fields to coaching; from selling popcorn at the concession stand to serving on the Board of Directors.
If you are yet unfamiliar with our club, we invite you to catch a glimpse of the "beautiful game" as played at Aliber Fields. Every night of the week during season, you will find teams practicing. Games held on weekends. Once there, you're sure to catch the excitement and become part of this terrific organization.
