Recreational Grassroots Soccer Program Overview:
Welcome to our Recreational Soccer Program, designed for young players in the U7 age group (Birth Year - 2017). Our goal is to create a lively and exciting learning atmosphere for families. We emphasize skill development and aim to foster a genuine love for the beautiful game. Through our game-based curriculum, we encourage players to embrace mistakes, express creativity, and grow into confident and brave athletes. Player development is the heart of our program, guided by our 4 Pillars of Coaching.
Our 4 Pillars of Coaching:
1) Players experience FUN: We want you to enjoy the game while also building a strong work ethic.
2) Players connect through positive team spirit: We focus on building camaraderie and teamwork through shared experiences.
3) Players demonstrate growth with positive coaching: We support personal and skill development through positive reinforcement.
