By |

Spurred by interest from two New Canaan residents, officials say they’re forming a women’s pickup soccer group that will play Sunday nights starting later this month. The new program (register here) will run 8 to 9:30 p.m. weekly starting April 28 through June 2 at Water Tower Turf Field 1 at New Canaan High School (closest to Lapham Community Center, where there’s close and ample parking), according to Assistant Recreation Director Zack Philippas. “It’s a pick-up style, so it means each week teams will be formed based on the players that are there,” Phillippas told NewCanaanite.com. “And this flexible format ensures that everyone gets plenty of playing time and an opportunity to get new teammates. And it also allows us to have 14 people sign up and we could do 7-on-7 on a smaller size field.
