Mccarren Park, Mon 5:20pm for 6-8yrs

Classes are built around play and games disguising the learning aspect. This format encourages more engagement from the class resulting in better participation.  

What will my soccer star learn?  

Our coaches will lead them through a series of organized mini games that help to develop listening skills, balance, running, playing as a group, more advanced ball skills and foot-eye coordination. They will play 1v1s and scrimmage as a team each week.  

I've been playing in the 4&5yr class, what will we learn now?  

The 6-8 year old classes focus on 1v1’s and scrimmaging! Drills and games in these classes will help the soccer player learn to score goals while their opponent is trying to take the ball away from them.  

Will they pay attention and be able to do all the drills in the first class?  

Every single child is different! Some students get it right away and others need a little bit more time to get used to the game, and to our coaches. Once they become accustomed to the routine and to our coaches they will pay attention more and more as the weeks progress.  

Cognitive mental development in 6-8yr olds  

Kids in this age group still love games and imagination. Their attention span is becoming a little longer but it is inconsistent. They can focus on one task longer (not as many changes in activities). These kids talk a lot and ask a lot of questions. Their interests change frequently. They learn quickly. They like to try new activities, but they don't like to fail - most especially in the eyes of adults who praise them. They seek attention. They like to be tested (and win). And their memories are starting to develop.

Do parents need to be involved?
Nope, you can sit back and cheer them on from the sidelines!

Parent attendance required (not drop off) - Please note all classes are not drop off classes. Parents/carers/guardians will be required to stay for the duration of the class.
