The Final Chapter of
North Penn Small Sided Soccer!
| Dear North Penn Small Sided Soccer Families, After much thought and careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to conclude North Penn Small Sided Soccer operations as of Summer 2026. For the past 10 years, it has been our privilege to serve as North Penn Small Sided Soccer coordinators and provide a fun, instructional, and affordable soccer experience for youth players within our community. From our youngest preschool players taking their first kicks to our high school athletes continuing to develop their skills and love for the game, we have enjoyed every season and every opportunity to watch our players learn and grow. This decision was not made lightly. Operating a successful, structured soccer program requires a tremendous amount of time, energy, planning, coordination, and behind-the-scenes work. As volunteer coordinators, we have always been proud to dedicate ourselves to creating a positive experience for local families, but the time has come for us to step away and bring this chapter to a close. We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to the many volunteer coaches who generously shared their time, patience, and talent with our players over the years. Our program would not have existed without your commitment. You taught skills, built confidence, encouraged sportsmanship, and created lasting memories for so many children. We are also incredibly thankful to the parents and families who entrusted us with a small part of their children’s athletic journey. While the North Penn Small Sided Soccer program is coming to an end, we want to assure families that there are many excellent soccer opportunities available within the community. We encourage players who wish to continue their soccer development to explore the various recreational, travel, and intramural programs available in the area. The love of the game and the lessons learned through soccer can continue beyond our program. As we look back on the past decade, we are filled with gratitude for the friendships, memories, smiles, and experiences we have shared together. It has truly been an honor to serve this community and be a part of so many young athletes’ lives. Thank you for your support, your trust, and the opportunity to be part of your family’s soccer journey. With sincere appreciation, Janine Afflerbach Pete Afflerbach Chris Hill North Penn Small Sided Soccer Coordinators/Board Members |
