Bulldog Diving

We are looking forward to the return of Bulldog Diving this summer! This is our summer competition season for diving, so it includes both practices and meets! Whether you just want to try the board to see how you do or if you’re a returning diver and want to keep going, you are invited to register for this program. Bulldog Diving is open to participants age five and up. Divers will need to be able to swim independently from the middle of the pool back to the side.

During the three weeks when school is still in session, practices will be after school. Divers will be able to ride the bus to Beach. Once summer vacation starts, practices are Monday through Friday during the morning hours, and times will be assigned by Coach Burris when the season starts. Meets are always Friday evenings and the schedule will be published prior to the start of the season.

Spring dates are T.B.A.
3:15 – 4:00 or 4:00 – 5:00 p.m.

Divers can ride the transfer bus to Beach and go straight to the pool. The pool and locker rooms will be open.

Summer dates are T.B.A.
9:30 – 10:30 or 10:30 – 11:30 a.m.

There will be a special practice schedule the week of July 22 - 25 for championships. No practice on July 4.

Bulldog Soccer School

We are looking forward to another season of Bulldog Soccer School! See below for program info.

Welcome back to the Bulldog Soccer School! This fall, Coach Jordan and the crew from Chelsea Soccer Club and CHS soccer teams are back on the pitch. Youth will register by their age (ages 4 through 10) and will then work on developing their soccer prowess for five Saturdays. We will begin each week together as a whole group working on our skill for the week before moving into small groups for skills and drill work led by the coaches. The second half of each session will be ‘small side’ scrimmages.

The benefits of this format include players developing essential coordination and motor skills that will benefit them in future athletic endeavors. The ultimate goal is to provide as many touches on the ball for each youth as possible.

Each youth will need their own youth soccer ball. Shirts are provided with registration. When purchasing your own soccer ball, size 3 will be used for ages 4 – 7 and size 4 will be used for ages 8 – 10. Shin guards are recommended for the older ages, and cleats are not required.

While qualified coaching staff from the Chelsea Soccer Club will be coordinating the youth soccer academy, as well as boys from the CHS soccer teams, we still will need many parent volunteers to make sure we are able to keep our skills groups small and insure great game play during our scrimmages. If you are interested in being a head coach, you should not register online. Please call the Community Education office at (734) 433-2208, Ext. 6074. A mandatory training session for these coaches will be held prior to the start of the season. This information will be posted and sent to all interested coaches once a date and time are established.

PLEASE NOTE NEW TEAM SPORTS REGISTRATION WINDOWS:
Regular registration – January 1 through March 15
Late registration – beginning March 16 automatically added to wait list and will be enrolled as space permits.
