This program is NOT focused on match play.
Many players are most likely coming into their first ‘organized’ social/sporting arena. It is therefore important to recognize their viewpoint and needs. They may not have learnt how to stand in line to await their turn. They will be seeking constant praise and feedback from coaches. They will be lively, sometimes talkative and cumbersome – they are finding their feet. Therefore it is important that they feel safe, supported and able in all they do.
Sessions are designed for the children to be active, have fun with an emphasis on learning to play with others.
Our leaders will use a variety of fun games to develop balance, coordination, movement, and soccer motor skills as well as listening to instructions.
We teach kicking, running control, and dribbling. As players progress, more advanced skill development games are introduced. Development games are a highlight for the children.
