MANCHESTER - Sponsored by GateHouse Financial Advisors, LLP, the Manchester Parks and Rec. will offer Sandlot Soccer Swim on Wednesday nights from 5:30 until 7 p.m. for six weeks beginning July 11. There is no charge for this fun event.

Now in its ninth consecutive year, Sandlot Soccer Swim is pure pickup soccer - no drills, laps, lecturing coaches, or whistle-happy refs. The kids choose their own teams; ref their own games; make their own rules; and have their own fun. Everyone plays, everybody wins. After the game, players are invited to cool off in the Rec. pool at no charge. Soccer time and swim time are roughly equal. But like everything else, that's up to the kids.

Kids are divided into two groups by age - grades three through five (school year 2012-2013) and grades six through eight. In the spirit of sandlot play, there is flexibility on most issues including age, grade, attendance, coed teams (or not). As an example, younger/older siblings can play with permission from the onsite adult supervisor. Complimentary tee shirts will be provided while supplies last.

For more information, contact David Gates or Steve Houseman (GateHouse Financial Advisors, LLP) at 362-5544.
