Information about the U6 Program:

Training consists of a variety of age appropriate topics with an emphasis on individual technique and skill to develop a foundation and comfort level on the ball. Following each training session, athletes will take part in small sided game which focuses on the skills taught during the training session. Competition is more than scoring. Demonstrating the skills becomes the focus of the games, which in turn allows players to learn and play in a fun environment.

Weekend Game Outline

•Teams consist of 4-7 players with the Trainer acting as the coach for both teams
•Weekend games will focus on weekly training lessons
•There will be no offside, throw-ins or corner kicks
•No goalie's or referee's
•The Trainer will be on the field during the game to control movement
•Handballs are only called if athletes intended to play ball
•Substitutions will be made so all players see equal playing time.
•A Size 3 ball will be used for games

Scoring is part of the game but more important is the use of the skills taught, during the week. Athletes should be encouraged to demonstrate the weekly training skill before scoring.
