Under 5 Program
This exciting program allows our smallest of players a chance to begin learning the basics of soccer while getting exercise before they are eligible for our U6 league.
The U5 Program is a little different than our standard format. It has been structured in a format that is fun and engaging for the little soccer star.
- The U5 program is a jamboree One with One combination of two different formats that when put together, will provide the best possible introduction to soccer for our youngest players. In AYSO soccer, a jamboree means that teams are formed on a weekly basis depending on how many players attend a given session. One with one refers to the concept that each player will have a parent (or other adult) working with them on the field.
- A “Master Coach” will lead each session. The “master coach” will introduce a game/activity that will practice a certain skill or part of the game using explanation and demonstration. Each pair (player/parent) will then attempt the activity while the master coach circulates between pairs providing specific help or suggestions so that the activities are performed as intended. After a suitable amount of time, the “master coach” will bring the players and parents back together as a group and recap what they have done, introducing the next game/activity.
- Each Jamboree One with One session will end with a 20 minute short-sided game (3 v 3). This will allow the players to play without coaching or teaching and expose them to soccer. The two goals of the program are to allow the players to enjoy the activities and to let the game be the teacher.
