A high-energy program introducing children to fundamental soccer principles, such as using your feet, dribbling and the basic rules of the game. Through fun games and positive reinforcement, children will begin to experience the joy of playing soccer and being active.
Younger age groups focus on developing motor skills and self-confidence; older classes focus more on developing core soccer skills and personal focus, and introduce an element of light competition.
Ball Handling: Players will learn the "no hands" rule of ball handling. How to kick a soccer ball, dribble between the feet, and maneuver around the field.
Goal Keeping: Players will learn ball confidence in order to prevent goals. How to use their body (yes the hands too!) and develop hand-eye coordination.
Teamwork: Players will learn how to pass to teammates and work together to achieve a goal.
Ages: 2-9* years old.
*The 7-9 year old program is dependent on registrations. This is a FUN league, not a competitive one.
