U5 - U6 - U7 - U9 Program Information

Program Information and Structure:

The Mini Program (U5-U9) follows the Canada Soccer Pathway to promote a love for the game at an early age.  In doing so, practices will consist of timed stations (roughly 6-10 minutes each) falling into the 4 categories for development:  Soccer technique, General Movement, Coordination, and Small-Sided Games. 

• Soccer technique involves drills that teach dribbling, control, passing, and shooting. This is where the kids develop basic skills, they will use for the rest of their soccer careers.
• General Movement involves drills designed to promote physical activity. The kids will learn speed, agility, and balance while participating in highly active tasks.
• Coordination involves drills that combine different movements and serve to promote better control of their bodies with and without a ball.
• Small-Sided Games are where the kids can apply some of the skills they learn in “real” game scenarios. This can include scrimmages, or other variations of games with a ball.

Throughout the season, there will also be a couple of tournament days where the kids play for the whole practice to promote fun and healthy competition (without keeping score).
