Age 5-6

Everyone has fun at this level! Mini soccer is designed to provide all players with lots of opportunity to touch the ball in a positive environment. This level of play is designed to build on the basics of dribbling, passing and shooting. 

Games are played on a half field with no goalies and 4 players from each team per shift. Shifts will aim to be divided by experience/skill level to play the games so that all children will play against their appropriate level. Teams are mixed boys and girls. Participation medals will be presented at the end of the year.

Caregivers are required to remain in attendance for the duration of the field time. This ensures the safety of the player in a medical emergency or a weather-related cancellation.
