Development Program U8

Program Details

This program is for any 6 & 7 year old player. Our Juniors program is a bridge between the more technical work of our Cadets program (for 8 to 13 year old) and the heavily game-focused sessions of our Kinder Kickers program (3 to 5 year old). Our curriculum uses fun games and activities to introduce and refine core soccer skills, but more attention is focused on skill development and precision than in our foundational, Kinder Kickers program. These programs are high-energy and encourage your child to challenge themselves to improve their foundational skills. While still considered an introductory session to soccer, no special skills or knowledge are needed.

What to expect

Program structure follows no-pressure to low to high pressure environments. The program goal is not solely to develop new skills but also focus on enhancing and improving current technique and form in increasingly higher pressure environments.

What equipment is needed

Shin guards, soccer cleats are recommended (tennis shoes are okay) and a size 3 soccer ball (optional). We will supply everything else.

Training time and locations:

This program runs from October 2nd until March 08, 2025.  Two sessions a week, in a school gym. See Training Calendar for complete schedule.
