West Seattle Soccer Club is pleased to continue providing the skills clinic & games program for the U6/U7 season. For several years, we have partnered with UK International Soccer to provide Master Coaches that assist our volunteer coaches each game day by demonstrating skills practice for our youngest players. This season, we again have partnered with UKIS to provide Master Coaches for a skills clinic program and games.

Each Sunday, our U6/U7 Coed teams participate in a pair of professionally led skill building exercises followed by a game with two 16 minute halves under the guidance of UKIS Master Coaches.

Overview and Guidelines

Masks are not required. Players and parents are encouraged to wear masks if they would prefer.

Session Description

Our Master Coach program for U6 and U7 teams and volunteer coaches provides a UKIS Master Coach – a professional coach with a lot of experience with this age group – to teach soccer-based activities designed to develop skills and keep the kids engaged. After working through the skills, teams will then play a game. There will be two UKIS Master Coaches rotating between the 8 fields, supporting and assisting our volunteer coaches.

Some guidance:

Yes, there is a 30-minute gap between the end of one session and the beginning of the next to allow for teams to exit and arrive
WSSC asks that after games players and parents leave the field area within 15 minutes of the session end time to make way for the next round of players.
WSSC and HSA have currently capped our U6 and U7 team counts at 32 per division so we can provide properly sized mod fields for 8 games, 16 teams, simultaneously. This includes 28 teams from WSSC and 4 team slots allocated to our sister club Highline Soccer Club (HSC).
Field Sizes are approximately 50' x 75'
Games are played 4v4 with no goal keepers
Referees are not allotted to U6 and U7 Games. One coach from each team should plan to be on the field cheering the kids and helping guide them in the rules while keeping a focus on fun.

"What should my kid bring?

Kids should come ready to play in their team kit, soccer cleats, and shin guards
WSSC highly recommends players bring a water bottle
For cold days we recommend a stocking cap and warm gloves but suggest not to wear hooded sweatshirts
