5 Traditionally, the Wildwood mini soccer program runs as a league comprised of Ft. Garry CC, Lord Roberts CC and Riverview CC. As we get closer to the season start, a decision will be made on running the program in this fashion or an alternate Wildwood Park Community Centre only program, to limit contacts amongst participants. As with prior seasons, the combined 4/5-year -old group and the 6-year -old group will play on Mondays and Wednesdays and the 7-year -old group and 8-year -old group will play on Tuesdays and Thursdays. All sessions are from 6pm to 7pm and run from early May to late June.

This is unfortunate, as soccer is a great form of physical activity, and provides kids with skills such as teamwork, perseverance and decision making that they'll be able to apply to all aspects of their life. Wildwood does not have enough kids to form teams at these levels, but players can continue with their soccer development after mini soccer in several ways: Recreational soccer through Ft.
