PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

This program relies on Parent involvement, who receive the guidance of one of our Staff Coaches. A Club Coach will be on site to provide leadership for all sessions. Program curriculum and sessions plans will be provided along with other support from our Youth Leadership players. Parent involvement is critical to the program as the ratio of player to coach must be kept to about 6:1 according to Canadian Soccer Association guidelines.

Key aspects of this program include lots of touches on the ball, dribbling, shooting, passing along with mini-games (2v2/3v3/4v4)… and of course, just having fun!

Each session will be divided up into a number of station-based activities, designed to make the game fun while learning new skills that include individual physical literacy development (with & without the ball) along with some paired activities and game play.
