IN-TOWN
This is an in-town program (no traveling to other towns). It is a 90-minute session held on Saturdays, which combines practice and game time. An additional training session with professional trainers will be held on a weekday afternoon.
On Saturdays, after a practice in which coaches work on game tactics and help inspire a sense of team among the players, the teams participate in games of 6v6 (six players against six players, including goalies). The 6v6 game provides each child with increased “touches on the ball.” Players are expected to attend the full 90-minute session.
The weekday training sessions are designed to further develop the individual soccer skills introduced in the Grade 1 and 2 program.
Players receive a shirt, socks and shorts for game days (no ball). It is not necessary to wear uniforms to the weekday training session, but players may wear their uniforms to promote team pride. Soccer shoes (molded plastic/rubber cleats only, no football or baseball style) are recommended. Shin guards are mandatory.
Coaches will be notified of their team assignments shortly before Labor Day. Coaches will relay the information directly to the players’ families.
Game schedules will be distributed by coaches around Labor Day and posted on this web site.
