Changes: Divisions/Soccer Ball Sizes for Upcoming Season

Dear Parents:
Due to an overwhelming amount of numbers in our 1st and 2nd and 3rd and 4th grade divisions, we are updating our divisions to the following for the upcoming season:

Divisions:
K4/K5
1st and 2nd
3rd and 4th
5th through 8th

Game Day Official Soccer Ball Sizes:
Size 3: K4/K5 (all kids received a size 4 soccer ball at Soccer Camp ... they can still bring these to practices - you do not have to purchase the official size, but know they will be the game day sizes)
Size 4: 1st-4th graders
Size 5: 5th-8th graders

Please contact me with any questions!
Looking UPWARD,

Monday/Tuesday Upward Evaluations

Dear Upward Families:
We pray that everyone is doing well and recovering from the storm. While there are several trees down at NRBC and currently the power still out in our offices, we are still planning to proceed with Evaluations Monday and Tuesday from 5:30 - 7:00 p.m. Kids can wear tennis shoes or cleats for the drills. Please allow up to 30 minutes for Evaluations, with our Saturday Evaluation being cancelled and the effects of the storm, we are unaware of the traffic flow.

We look forward to the start of the season!

If you have any questions, please email Lizzy Christian at lchristian@nansemondriver.org.

Saturday 8-29 Evaluations Postponed!

Dear Parents,


We are post-poning tomorrow’s Upward Evaluations because of the impending weather and unsafe environment for families and children. We will now hold Evaluations on Mon., August 29 and Tues., August 30 from 5:30 – 7:00 p.m. in the grassy area near the Recreation Fields. Please pass the word to any families who you know were planning on coming out!

If you aren’t able to make it to either Monday/Tuesday’s evaluation, please contact me via phone or email so we can work out logistics!

We are praying for the safety of your families during the storms this weekend.


Looking UPWARD,
