Kennedy Soccer – Commanders of the Pitch

Team Week 2022

Kennedy Soccer Team Week is our chance to bond and have some fun the week before tryouts and the challenging grind of the 2022 season. For Team Week, we will have fun events everyday, Monday through Friday. Players are encouraged to attend all five days, and get to know their teammates in a fun environment with a variety of activities. All Team Week events are free, and all boys enrolled at Kennedy High School for the 2022/2023 school year are welcome! Here is the schedule:

Free Kennedy Soccer Jerseys to Keep

Kennedy Boy’s Soccer players who attend the most summer training sessions will receive Kennedy Soccer gear for your commitment to the program. Top attendees will get green Adidas jerseys to keep. Everyone who attends 4 of the 5 remaining sessions (Mondays & Fridays at 8am), plus at least 4 of the 5 Team Week sessions (Monday – Friday week of August 1st), will get some Kennedy Soccer gear. Let’s get ready for the season, Commanders!
