In this age group, children have a need to express their own autonomy, build relationships with teammates, and achieve confidence with the soccer ball. The aspect of FUN and activity is prevalent. Kids at this age do not "play soccer" , they play soccer while at soccer. Sessions are kept active with FUN, imaginative games. Each player works with his or her own ball for most of the training session. The players will learn their first technical gestures and the fundamentals of the soccer game.
