SOCCER 2024

UPDATE - 2024 Soccer Registration will open Wednesday, 08 MAY 2024

Stay tuned to the NFTN or your E-Mail for more details. 

Welcome to the 2024 Immaculate Conception Soccer season! This notice describes our programs and the registration process. The Immaculate Conception Soccer program is open to boys and girls of all abilities and combines an in-house clinic for Pre-K(4) and Kindergarten and participation in the Archdiocese of Baltimore Soccer Program (ABSP) leagues for grades 1 through 8 as described below. Dates listed below are tentative, and may change due to facility availability.  Information on uniforms will follow. 

Registration deadline for ABSP teams (Grades 1-8) is 18 JUNE 2024 - this is a recent requirement as the ABSP is going through some changes to improve and grow the programs and League.  There may be some slight changes to the League game schedule, including possible pre Labor Day tournaments and some in-season events.  More to follow as it is decided and communicated.

In-House Soccer Clinic, Pre-K4 and K:

Must be 4 years old by 01 September 2024.  Learn basic skills and teamwork in a fun and enriching environment. Clinic sessions will be conducted Saturday mornings at ICS from 09:00-10:00, September 7^th through October 26^th (with a layoff on September 14^th for the Jessica Meredith Jacobsen 5K Memorial Run and 1K Walk).  Parent coaches and assistants are vital to the success of the program; even if you have no coaching experience, this is a great forum for kids and parents to learn a little about the game together.  Uniforms DO NOT need to be ordered and will be provided on the first session.

 ABSP U8 Clinic, Grades 1 and 2:

Separate boys and girls teams participate in a Saturday league that includes teams from other parishes. The primary objective of this program is to give children the skills and Christian attitude necessary for standard ABSP league soccer competition in future grades. Practices will be held Wednesday evenings from 5:45-7:15 pm at the Odyssey School field beginning in late summer.  Games will begin in early September and run through mid-November.  Uniforms DO NOT need to be ordered and will be provided at a practice prior to the beginning of game play.  Registration is open through 18 June.

 ABSP Soccer, U10/12/14, Grades 3 through 8:

ABSP soccer promotes good sportsmanship and soccer skills in a framework of Catholic values. Twice-weekly practices begin in August and league games, held at Archdiocesan schools, start the week after Labor Day and run through mid-November.  Boy’s practices are generally Monday and Thursday evenings from 5:45 – 7:15 pm with games on Saturdays and Girl’s practices are generally Tuesday and Fridays from 5:45 – 7:15 pm with games on Sundays.  Times can be adjusted at the coaches discretion.  League champions are determined by their aggregate performance against the other teams in the league over the course of the season  Please fill the uniform fields of the registration form if one is needed (if last season's still fits, they are good for this year). Registrations must be received by 18 June to meet ABSP deadlines.

In-House Clinic (Pre-K and K) – $80
