Grades K-2nd

Instructional Focus:  Emphasis is placed on introducing the game to these young players in a FUN and enjoyable way.  By playing different types of games and activities that demonstrate basic skills of soccer, the participants learn these skills “intuitively”.  While it’s the enjoyment they are experiencing, the games are teaching them much more, creating optimal fun and learning.

 

Grades 3rd & 4th

Instructional Focus:  While continued development of individual skills and techniques for the game are still a major emphasis, the importance of “cooperative play” is highlighted.  Training activities that teach small group tactics that foster appropriate decision-making qualities are incorporated.  Players learn to appreciate the importance of “team play”.  

 

Grades 5th-8th

Instructional Focus:  Players at these ages need to learn the importance of “game awareness”.  Knowing how individual ability and/or team play, fit into the game is essential.  Learning to make good decisions on when and where to move, with or without the ball, will help develop a young player’s mind for the game in order to meet the demands of high-level play.
