MICROS--FALL 2024
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Welcome to the NECONN Soccer Club MICROS U5/U6 program which includes children from the towns of Brooklyn, Eastford, Killingly, Pomfret, Putnam, Thompson, and Woodstock.
Micros is an instructional soccer program for players that are under 5 or U5 (2020) and under 6 or U6 (2019). During this program, players participate in a series of skill-based activities followed by small-sided scrimmages. At this age, dribbling is what it's all about, along with some passing and shooting. The most important thing about 'micros' soccer is that sessions are fun and enjoyable. The program will be run by our Micros Coordinator MissyCaisse with several older NECONN players assisting.
