BETHEL PARK SOCCER ASSOCIATION
FLIGHTS AND AGE GROUP INFORMATION
Spring 2008
The Flight Program, our in-house program, focuses on the fundamental skills needed to play soccer and the rules of the game. As your child advances in flights more skills and rules are added. It is played on Saturdays at the time and location listed on the chart below. The first hour is focused on teaching and practicing skills with your team. The second hour is a game. Flights are organized by age. The first three levels combine both boys and girls.
