FAQ

With the Addition of Wurn Park to Coastal Kicks Soccer we wanted to address some questions we have been getting.
Will all team training be moved to Wurn Park for 2024-2025 season?
No, teams will still train at Brookview Elem. Park and Huffman Park. All teams use the beach & futsal training and other fields while also rotating training at Wurn Park. Wurn Park will be used primarily as a game site.
What days and times will teams train for next year?
Until teams are formed and rosters completed training schedules for next fall can not be determined. Teams will train twice a week either Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday with a third day a supplemental training offered. Teams train 90 minutes with start times of  5:30pm, 6:00pm or 6:30pm. U8 Dev Team typically starts training sessions at 5:15pm.
