The Ocean City Nor’easters Soccer Organization and the Ocean City Recreation Department are excited to announce a partnership that has been established to enhance the player development opportunities for all ages and levels of soccer within city of Ocean City.

Using age appropriate curriculum, Ocean City Nor’easters will provide support, structure, consistency and confidence to ensure players are receiving the highest level of coaching. Ocean City Nor’easters professional coaching staff will work alongside volunteer coaches providing education and expertise, ensuring, existing and new programs are structured correctly and implemented with consistency.

Starting this spring Nor’easters coaches will begin to work with the youngest players through implementation of the ‘Spring Rec Soccer Academy’.  “It is important at the foundation level that the players and parents have a positive first experience”, commented Nor’easters General Manager Neil Holloway, “The Nor’easters will provide age appropriate curriculum and education to the volunteer coaches as well as the players”.

The Spring Rec Soccer Academy will be an indoor soccer program at the city’s sports and civic center following a similar format to the city’s previous spring soccer. The program will run for 7 weeks from mid-March through May and will combine a training and education element as well as games.

The introduction of the Pre-K age group will be the first time soccer has been offered for this young age.
