Over 20 Milton Soccer coaches braved the wet, 42 degree weather on Sunday April 11th to attend the 4v4 grassroots training course. The course was well done and the coaches were into it. 21 coaches registering, watching an intro module, doing a two hour zoom call and braving a two hour session in the chilly weather is to be commended.

Thanks to board members Mike O'Hanlon, Jaime Levash, Tahani Rivers, Sophie Tobias, and Brian Johnson for promoting the course and thanks again to all of the coaches for attending!

Milton Soccer is committed to increasing player, coach, and board member diversity so that the program demographics accurately reflect that of our town. As an organization we stand behind and welcome all who wish to participate in Milton Soccer. By launching our ”No Room for Racism”  campaign, we want to show support for the families of Milton and renounce any racism they may have experienced in our town, schools, and sports. As a board we are making available No Room for Racism practice jerseys, beanies, and face masks that may be purchased in our Team Shop (available soon) and the voluntary wearing of these items.

We will also be displaying No Room for Racism banners at Milton Soccer Fields. We believe that the organization should be welcoming and actively anti-racist. Staying silent, especially now, shows acceptance of the status quo and our organization is committed to moving forward to a more welcoming and racially diverse program.

Milton soccer does not condone discrimination or bullying in any form. Practice jerseys, beanies, and masks will be available to parents who would like to purchase them, and it is a parental choice to have a player wear them.

Please click here if you would like to view and/or purchase these items from the store.  Thanks!

Sincerely,

Milton Soccer Board
