2/3 Year-Old Program:

As coaches, we want the players to associate a positive experience with playing soccer. We also want to enforce boundaries, and help players understand and follow simple instructions. Finally, we lay the groundwork by establishing a comfort level with the ball at your feet for all players.

4/5 Year-Old Program:

At 4 and 5 years of age, players practice games that are designed to introduce the basics of dribbling and kicking the ball. Passing and shooting are rarely incorporated in our curriculum for this age. They are introduced to 4 v 4 "real game" the last 15 minutes of each practice, to understand the game at its most basic stage. Sportsmanship, field boundaries, and directional play are important building blocks for these young stars.

6/7 Year-Old Program:

Coaches begin to focus on spacing on the field and in the game. We introduce the idea of creating space for players by spreading out. To further reinforce the idea of space, topics such as passing and dribbling are addressed. All games are played using half of our indoor soccer field so as to keep the children involved as much as possible and allow for as many touches on the ball as possible.

8/9 Year-Old Program:

At this age group, ball mastery and manipulation becomes the focus. Practice time introduces soccer-specific moves on the ball to positively encourage players to be comfortable on the ball and take players on in the attack. Team principals become another topic throughout each session as we strive to reinforce the idea of space by explanation of different positions played on the pitch. Games are played on a full field, causing need for both defending and attacking.

10/11 Year-Old Program:

As players become accustomed to the bigger pitch and understand the different positions on a soccer field, topics such as individual and team defending/attacking become prevalent at this age group. In an effort to continue to positively reinforce player creativity, soccer specific individual moves are still part of the focus at this age group as well.

12/14 Year-Old Program:

Decision making and becoming a complete player are topics of focus at this age group. We encourage and reinforce all topics from previous age groups, and explain to the players the importance of incorporating those skills into play via decision making. Reasons for specific happenings on the field are topics of discussion, as well as continued development in all aforementioned soccer specific skills.
