ABOUT
THE SPORT
Get outdoors this season and play Soccer with the ESSC. It’s a great
way to get fit, work on your eye-foot coordination and to have fun with
your team. It’s a 6 on 6 game including the goalies, with a minimum
of two females on the field at all times. We offer Recreational, Recreational
Plus and Intermediate divisions. All players are expected to call their
own fouls and manage the game. We encourage you to play with a ‘fun-first’
attitude at our various medium sized fields around the city and to visit
one of our official Sponsor Bars after the games. |
