Children Ages 12 Through 14 As Of July 31st 2024
Overview
This level of play provides soccer instruction to the intermediate and somewhat advanced 12 through 15 year old child. During a season’s practices and games, the child will be introduced to some age-appropriate soccer skills through a variety of fun but more challenging activities. The main emphasis throughout each season is keeping to the program’s mission and trying to help the child to have a fun but more challenging time. Important in helping to make this an enjoyable experience for the child is constructive input and when possible involvement from their parents throughout the season. The child will benefit from this level of play's educational value, physical fitness, soccer skills development, social growth aspects, and fun.
