CORE Programs – Three different Skill programs will be offered based on three criteria; Age, Ability, and Cognitive learning. Our four-week, (one day per week) programs will teach in a progressive, fun learning environment based on the fundamentals of soccer.
Playtime (Ages 2-3yrs.) This is a Parent/Child participation program. We will have many activities that directly relate to motor skill development. Each class will consist of FUN interactive games, with the use of many different props. "First Touch Interactive Story Telling" will help the little ones understand Participation, Sportsmanship, Sharing and Team concepts along with the basic skills of soccer. Our main goal with this Program is to offer a FUNDAMENTAL approach using exercise and Parent/Child bonding time as our main focus. Each class will be approximately-45 minutes in length)
First Touch (4-6yrs.) This is a true introduction to soccer with our main focus to be on balance, coordination and the understanding of how the body moves. We will cover the basic Ball Skills needed to play the game of soccer with the emphasis on the individual player's development; (1 v 1 moves, passing, receiving, dribbling and finishing). During our instruction of each skill, we will be introducing many Fun games that make the learning process more exciting and challenging for each participant. (Each class will be approximately 45 minutes in length)
Ball Skills (7-14yrs.) The Field Player program has four stages of development; Ball Mastery/Dribbling, Passing/Receiving, Attacking/Defending, & Striking/Finishing. Each session the staff will focus on, increasing body awareness, self-efficacy, technical proficiency, and tactical understanding, thus improving the overall success of the player.
