The coaching staff will encourage and praise each participant for its efforts and build confidence as well as passion for the game.

PRACTICE

Practice sessions are designed to be developmentally appropriate to the age group. The children will take part in practices that incorporate fundamental movement skills such as running, jumping, hopping, stretching, twisting, throwing and catching. More importantly, the players will learn to apply these skills with the soccer ball. Groups will consist of 8 to 10 players to ensure all players get the attention they deserve. The number of players within the group may increase as the players age and develop.
