Franklin Recreation will not be offering soccer for the IttyBitty through Pre-K age groups this year due to the pandemic. We will, however, be offering it for those entering Kindergarten. Please keep in mind that we will be looking for additional volunteers at all levels to make this season safe and in accordance with the State of Vermont guidelines. Please consider volunteering this year to help make it a success!
