Soccer Saturdays are back in Chester.
After 12 months of running programs online, Chester Upland Soccer returned to proper outdoor soccer with their popular Soccer Saturday program last month.
“It’s getting back out here on a nice day in spring and seeing the kids happy and having fun,” said Amanda Anakitis, one of the coach/mentors who plays for Penn Fusion and Strath Haven said after a recent session at Chester Park. “The kids are so happy when they’re playing you’re having fun with them, it’s like you’re not even coaching them.”
Separated into two age groups, kids wearing masks dotted the field playing small-sided games and working on various drills with area coaches and players on a recent Saturday morning.
