MICROS--FALL 2025
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Welcome to the NECONN Soccer Club U5/U6 MICROS 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 U5 (2021) and U6 (2020). 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 U6 soccer is that the sessions are enjoyable.
