U5 soccer provides an exciting introduction to soccer in a friendly and non-competitive environment. The program creates an enjoyable environment for players to develop their basic soccer skills and understanding of the game. Dribbling, shooting, and movement education, such as running, jumping, turning, balancing are incorporated into age appropriate soccer activities.
