What is SAQ?

  • Speed-Agility-Quckness. SAQ skills receive little attention during the season but can have
    an impact on those players putting in work on it throughout the off season. SAQ exercises emphasize
    foot speed, acceleration and deceleration, quickness and change of direction. SAQ training can also help
    with injury prevention as well.
  • Ball Mastery Competitive programs at all levels put the responsibility of footwork on the player outside of
    team training. This clinic will focus on teaching players how to improve speed, touch, comfort, and
    confidence on the ball. Mastery of these technical skills are necessary for any player to develop their
    game to the next level!

Where will these sessions take place?

  • All sessions take place down at Teamworks - Field 1 on Rt. 6 in Seekonk
  • Sessions run Fridays from 5pm to 6pm

Seekonk Soccer, Resendes Soccer Academy Announce Partnership for Fall 2023!

Published August 5th, 2023 - 4:34pm

Seekonk Youth Soccer is extremely excited to announce that in a continued effort to teach, grow, and
elevate youth soccer that we have partnered with Resendes Soccer Academy (RSA) to enhance our Fall
2023 Rec Soccer Program. This partnership is the perfect extension from this past Winter and Spring
when Seekonk Soccer started working with RSA to support our Black Goose program and run our Black
Goose Academy. This Fall our partnership will now provide Seekonk Rec Soccer players, from
Kindergarten to 4th grade, extra training with professional coaches and staff each week. In addition, our
parent driven volunteer coaches will receive training session plans weekly to use at practice.
This partnership will further enhance our Saturday games each week. When teams arrive for their game,
it will include a training session for 30 minutes with RSA coaches/Staff prior to playing their regular
game. This is a fun training environment for the kids while also providing a valuable demonstration for
our coaches in executing the drills before they practice later in the week.
The RSA Coaches and Staff are some of the best in the business. In providing Seekonk players and
coaches the opportunity to train with RSA, it allows us to build a stronger more consistent foundation of
skills throughout our program.

DMK will have (2) different uniform kits available to purchase:

  • The (1) Blue and (1) White (2 shirts total) jersey set, which is in limited supply and is discounted.
  • The most recent SYS Logo in a Blue/White reversible jersey, which will be the main rec jersey going forward.

All socks and shorts can be purchased with the game jerseys at DMK Sports as well.

  • Soccer Ball (Grades 1-8: Size 4; Kindergarten: Size 3)
