A weekly women’s soccer gym program begins its 18th year on Monday night.
Led by longtime Richmond Soccer coach Mike Quinn, the sessions are run through the West Richmond Community Centre and are typically held next door at Hugh Boyd Secondary School. Renovations will force a move to nearby Dixon Elementary for the first two or three sessions
The fall program runs every Monday from 7:30-9 p.m. until Dec. 14. There are also winter and spring sessions planned.
“It caters for women who want to go back to playing soccer, want to start playing soccer or want to get into shape,” said Quinn who noted the program was called ‘Soccer Moms’ when it was initially launched. “It is a lot of fun and a good work out.
“I have ladies who have played a lot of soccer and some who have played a little or even none at all.”
There are still spots available for the fall program. To register, call 604-238-8400 or do it online by visiting richmond.ca/register and search for SOCCER-WOMEN ONLY 1099567.
