Soccer Kids did not receive 10 sign-ups they needed to hold a Spring Break Camp on the OTA campus but they will be holding a camp on the Clairemont High School campus.
Soccer Kids America organizes the Indoor Soccer League that OTA students will be playing in this Spring. They have a reputation for first class coaching.
No pickup soccer today. We’ll go again next Saturday: 1:00-2:30, open to OTA students in 2nd grade and up– parents are encouraged to play!
We now have enough players to field a team in each age group. To Sign Your Child Up for Indoor Soccer please email Karleen here or call 858-581-9116 to register your child or team. Karleen has granted us an an extension of the Sat. Deadline –until Monday
Mention you are with Old Town Academy and she will put your child on the appropriate team. We will post students who expressed interest in playing on classroom blogs so your children can see if their friends are playing.
We have enough sign-ups to field 3 teams, now we need coaches for each age group: 5-6, 7-8, 9-10.
Indoor Soccer is the best way to take your outdoor game to the next level. If we can get enough OTA students signed up for this league our students can play as an OTA team (and practice on campus). If you’re interested in signing your child up, please to talk to Zach Jones on the OTA campus. He’ll have an OTA sign-up sheet.
We are very happy to announce that Zach Jones has joined our staff to help teach Outdoor Ed (Recess for all grades, K-3 Sports, Nutrition & Conditioning, Team-Building and Character Development). Mr Jones, who just finished his teaching degree, has already made a big impact on the structure and organization of our programs.

Coaches for Sports Clubs: 4th-8th Grade Sports Clubs (which meet Tu and Th from 1:45-3:00) are changing for 3rd Quarter. In place of the Soccer, Football, Running, & Volleyball we will now have:
shoot (triple threat), how to play defense, and how to play team ball. Thank you Mark Burgess for volunteering!
strategies, throwing, basic fielding, ground ball, pop up, line drive), and hitting.
sprints, middle distance races, jumps, hurdles, throws (discus = frisbee toss; shot-put = medicine ball throw), etc. while also teaching them how to stretch and relax!
student to bump, set, spike, serve, and get ready for an end-of-term tournament.The goal of our Sports Clubs is for every student to master basic skills, learn the basics of every position, and learn to play as part of a team. To reach that goal we need experienced coaches to work with students in small groups or one-on-one. If you have played any of our new third quarter games–basketball, baseball, track-and-field or yoga, and volleyball– please consider volunteering!
We had a good afternoon of pickup soccer today with OTA students and parents on the OTA field. We’ll repeat the Saturday Soccer next week, Feb 4th, from 1:00 – 2:30.
Thank You to the Doar family for the loan of the big goals!
If soccer’s not your game, basketball and volleyball courts will also be available during these Saturday Pickup Sports Sessions.
We will have a pickup soccer game tomorrow on the field, from 1:00-2:30 for all OTA students and family (Grade 2 and up only please). Come by and play with your children–or drop them off and pick them up at 2:30. If we get enough students we will make this a regular Saturday event (and add hikes and basketball and soccer for younger, K-1, students)
