Soccer for Special Needs Children returns for 7th season!

Jefferson Township offers its 7th season of the Special Needs
Soccer Program



 The Jefferson Township Recreation
Department is accepting registrations for its seventh Fall season of the
Challenger Soccer Program for special needs childrenParents of
boys and girls age 5 – 18 (or the completion of high school) with physical or
mental challenges are invited to join this program.  Scott Luker, a
resident of Jefferson Township, will return to manage the league.



The games will be played on the
field of Camp Jefferson located at 81 Weldon Road in Lake Hopatcong with the
first game scheduled to take place on Saturday September 14, 2013 at 10 am.



This program offers players the
chance to participate in one of the most popular sports worldwide. 
Participants will play with the same equipment and by the same rules as in any
soccer game with the exception that they have the option to use the “buddy”
system for assistance.  Every player on the roster plays in the game, and
no score is kept.  Once again, thanks to fundraising efforts, the
registration fee (jersey, cap, and award) will be waived for this season.
