Quinn promises participants an atmosphere of fun and sportsmanship.
There are five weeks designated for children age 4 -to-6 and 6-to-8.
“What a I do is split them into three groups — Junior, Intermediate and Senior,” explained Quinn. “Junior will be mostly 4-and-5-year-olds, Intermediate would be 5, 6, and some 7’s, while Senior would be 8 year olds with some sevens. It is based on Age size and experience.”
Sessions designate for this age group include: July 6-10 (10-to-noon), July 13-16 (9:30-noon), July 20-24 (10-to-noon), Aug. 10-14 (10-to-noon), Aug. 24-28 (10-to-noon).
Quinn also has two dates designated for 8-to-12-year-olds — July 27-31 and Aug. 17-31.
Both run from 10 a.m. to noon and also are split into three groups.
All sessions will take place at Hugh Boyd Park. Each one will conclude with a Mini World Cup Day.
