Hello Dedham Soccer Community!

This year, February has one extra day, because of Leap Year (important because apparently without it, December would eventually drift into summer!!).
Even more important, is after February 29th, you know what that means-March 1st, oh yes, Preschool Kickers Registration OPENS!!!
Yep, it’s a big deal because these slots fill up fast (maybe even faster than a T.Swift concert)
Just a reminder, your player MUST be 4 by April 1, 2024no exceptions.

You can bet that the Dedham Youth Soccer volunteers are putting this extra day in February to good use, working hard to help make our soccer program great this Spring season. 
Read on to find out what's going on and sign up for opportunities to help us get the season off to a great start!

In good health,
Danielle
