US YOUTH SOCCER U5-U6 PLAYER DEVELOPMENT MODEL PDF

THE US YOUTH SOCCER – WHY SMALL-SIDED GAMES? PDF


"In a 4v4 match the opposition for the player with the ball is generally 1v7 even though partner play is now emerging. So during a match, the players need to focus on the task at hand, trying to control the ball. Unfortunately, they are often distracted by adults giving advice from around the field. Now they have to make a choice: either play the ball or listen to the adults. If the adults want to help the children play their best, they need to be quiet while watching the children’s game. It is important...to let everyone know it is OK to play swarm ball at the U-6 and U- 8 age groups." -- US Youth Soccer Player Development Model

Volunteer coaches are key to the success of the program. We need volunteers! Without adequate volunteers, rosters will be limited, and children will be turned away. If you are interested in coaching, please indicate when you register your child. Don't worry if you have never coached before! We will help and support you with a preseason coaching clinic, and support you throughout the season with resources including practice plans and age appropriate activities to help all our coaches a create a fun, safe,  environment for kids to learn the game of soccer and improve their soccer skills.
