New Player Development Program

Mission:

The program is designed to help children experience the fun of playing soccer using small-sided soccer games and developmental appropriate soccer activities. We play games of 4 vs 4 to help the children to have more contact with the ball. The players learn about field positioning. While they are having fun with the planned activities, the young developmental players will unknowingly develop the skills needed at an older age. Sessions follow specific activity plans each week so the kids have fun plus learn the soccer skills needed at older ages. The children will be group according to ability so that they may advance at their own pace but be challenged by the players in their group.

Eligibility: 

The program is intended for girls and boys entering Kindergarten and up to 7 years old. This program is designed to foster the love of soccer for children that already have shown an interest in the sport.

Program Guidelines:

	Parents must stay at the practice field or gym during practice times
	Make sure your child has used the restroom before they come to practice
	Children must come with a water bottle and ball to practice
	Parents must pick their child up at the field or gym so that children are not leaving and walking out to the parking lot without an adult
	Parents must sign up to participate in two practices to help the coaches run the games and activities. We try to keep the groups small to give the kids attention and feedback that is needed at this age.
	Children are expected to listen and behave at practice. If a child is having difficulties they will be given a reminder. The second time they are spoken to they will have a time out to the side of the field. The third time they will be asked to sit with their parent for 10 minutes.
