U5-U6: FUNdamentals

Program Overview

  • In-house soccer program for boys and girls, ages 4, 5 & 6 years old offered in both the fall and spring season.
  • Designed to introduce young players to the sport of soccer while having FUN.
  • Great opportunity for kids to be introduced to the game of soccer while getting the maximum number of touches on the ball in a fun environment through the use of drills and exercises.
  • Participants will learn invaluable skills to build a foundation for participation in the game.
  • Teams play small-sided games (3 vs. 3 and 4 vs. 4) with no goalkeepers as we focus on improving each player’s technical ability with the ball.
