The Cape Express Soccer Club (CESC) Caperoos Program is our grass root level soccer program for players who are 4, 5, 6 or 7 years old and have an interest in learning the game of soccer. Players will train one night a week, for seven weeks, with CESC Trainers who will provide them training on throw-ins, dribbling, passing, ball touches, finishing, and defensive procedures all based upon an approved U.S. Soccer curriculum. Starting in the Fall of 2020, CESC introduced games on Saturdays where players are afforded an opportunity to apply the skills they are taught and learn during the week. These games are supervised and run by CESC trainers and personnel. To promote participation and learning, and in accordance with US Soccer guidance, we do not keep scores and standings.
The Caperoos program is very popular and fills up quickly. Training sessions are held on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday evenings. There will be a cap of 50 players per night on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. In addition to a CESC Caperoos Trainer, one to two parent volunteers are solicited to assist with the training session and to help coach the games. Each trainer and parent will have to complete a verified background check in order to participate. For the Spring 2023 season, we are accepting the following birth years again 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019. Each player will need to bring his/her own size (4) soccer ball, shin guards (these are mandatory), soccer cleats (highly recommended), and a labeled water bottle to each session and game. Program registration is $75.00 which includes all training and games fees. Additionally, each player will be provided a “Caperoos” T-Shirt that the player must wear to training and games. The Caperoos Program is run by our CESC Caperoos Director, Ms. Brooke Zukawski. If you have any questions or would like to volunteer, please reach out to Brooke at [email protected]. Caperoos Training will take place at the Ockie Wisting Recreational Complex in Rio Grande, NJ. Training and games will occur as follows:
