Character Phrase

Follow the Rules/Follow Directions- We emphasize the importance of listening and following directions for their parents, teachers, and soccer coaches. We also explain that there are rules to the game of soccer and that the children need to follow the rules to play the game.

Soccer Skills

Dribbling and cutting.  Dribble the ball using the different surfaces of the foot- inside, outside, instep (laces), sole (bottom), using both feet.  Cutting the ball (or changing direction) using the inside or outside of the foot.

Reinforcement

Help your child understand the different surfaces of the foot.  Encourage your child to dribble using the various surfaces of the foot.  Also encourage your child to practice using both feet.  Place various cones or other objects around and encourage your child to dribble in the space and cut around the objects using the inside or outside of the foot.  They do not want to hit the cones with their ball. 

Our Mission is to introduce children to the game of soccer in a fun and positive environment.  We believe in the power of lots of encouragement and high fives.
