More After School Activities in Fairfield County, CT
Our schedule last weekend: a Friday night soccer party. Saturday, soccer game # 1 at 8:00, soccer game #2 at 10:00 and soccer game #3 at 10:15. And yes, the soccer games were all in different towns. Sunday: Soccer games at 9:30, 11:00, 1:30, 2:00, 3:30 and 4:00. By Sunday afternoon I’d forgotten what my husband looked like, I was faint from the stench of shin guards (who knew little girls could create such stink!?) and I’d nearly left one child in Wilton. Taken together, these seem to be signs that soccer season needs to be over. And soon. Yup, three more weeks of soccer, and then we are off to start some NON-SOCCER related after school activities! Choosing those can be overwhelming too but we can help with that. Below you'll find some great after school activities in Fairfield County. The motherload can be found in our After School Classes Guide which is filled with even more options.
