We’re confident that you would find your coaching experience to be both rewarding and worthwhile.  Our young players would undoubtedly benefit enormously from your encouragement and guidance. You can find a brief overview of how our soccer leagues work by looking over the information about our program.

Even if you would only be available to coach at two or three of the sessions, we encourage you to join us.  If you would like additional information or if you wish to sign up, contact Tom Grogg at 233-0554 or tgrogg@charter.net.

What

The Millennium Soccer Club currently sponsors soccer programs for low-income elementary school age youth in five ethnically diverse neighborhoods in south Madison who might otherwise not have an opportunity to play. These programs, which are offered each fall and spring, focus on providing basic instruction in the fundamentals of soccer as well as giving our participants an opportunity to have fun playing in a variety of small-sided soccer games.

Who

Our neighborhood-based programs are offered to both boys and girls in grades 1-5 who will be playing together on teams of 6-8 players.  The teams play in two grade-level divisions.

Where

All program sessions will be held on the playing fields at or near four elementary schools (Falk, Leopold, Lincoln, and Orchard Ridge), as well as at Marlborough Park.

When

The upcoming spring season will consist of six Saturday morning sessions that begin on April 21st and end on June 2nd (except for Memorial Day weekend).

Program Set-Up

Millennium is committed to providing our players a positive and safe environment in which to learn to play the game. Each Saturday session, which consists of a combination practice/game, lasts approximately 1½ hours, with different starting/ending times at each of the sites. For the first half of the session, all the teams practice on their own, while focusing on the development of individual and team-related skills. In the second half, they play games against other teams in their division. The games are played 4v4 with no goalies on 20 x 30 meter fields.

Volunteers Needed

The Millennium Soccer Club needs volunteer coaches and field managers at all of its neighborhood sites. Coaches will work in pairs with the same team at each session that they are available to volunteer. Field managers will help with laying out field markers for games, setting up pop-up goals, filling water coolers, collecting/bagging soccer equipment, etc. It is anticipated and assumed that coaches/field managers might not be available to help out at all six sessions because of school or work commitments.

What You Can Expect as a Volunteer

You will find that Millennium’s young players really enjoy playing soccer, are eager learners, and have always worked extremely well with their volunteer coaches/field managers. A site coordinator will be on hand each Saturday to help coordinate field set up and to provide suggestions for practice activities.

For most of us hunger is a TV scene of malnourished children in faraway countries. It does not seem real that there are over 143,000 people in Southern Wisconsin being served by the Second Harvest Foodbank.

Break Away Sports Center is very excited to organize our first Food Drive: The Champion’s League Challenge, March 7-17. Not only will this event get people involved and increase the food reserves available at Second Harvest Foodbank, but also raise awareness for their programs and the ultimate goal of ending hunger in Southern Wisconsin.

All Break Away Leagues have been assigned a barrel named after 1 of 6 Champion’s League teams (see below). The object is for players to bring in food items to fill their assigned barrel. Players and teams can compete against each other to donate the most food to benefit Second Harvest Foodbank. Don’t worry if you want to donate for a different team barrel than the one you are assigned – it’s all going for a great cause!

AC Milan – U14, 16 &18 boys teams
Barcelona – HS Coed, U10, 12 & 14 Girls teams
Bayern Munich – Men’s Rec, Over 40 & Over 50

Chelsea – all Adult Coed teams
