Winter 2012 Street Soccer
[registration and dates coming soon]
Why street soccer? The idea behind street soccer is to provide the kids the freedom to play games of soccer in a supervised yet unstructured environment. The goal is to encourage them to be creative and take ownership of their game. The games will be played in a 3v3, 4v4 and (where appropriate) 5v5 format. This will allow players to maximize their touches on the ball and provide them with numerous opportunities to make decisions. Players will play with one group for a 12 to 15 minute games, the coach/adult will then remix the teams and start up a new game.
Note: There will be no coaching, just adult supervision.
