Micro Soccer Program

Our "child development" Micro Programs are a great way to introduce children to a variety of sports while building character and leadership skills.

Parent Participation

Parent Participation is an integral part of Micro Soccer. Each parent or guardian is expected to help with his or her child’s team. Parents can contribute to the team through coaching, volunteering as Game Monitor, or helping with administrative duties. Nevertheless, the primary responsibility of the parent is to be a parent. Parent responsibilities include:

- Having your child dressed and ready for practice.

- Getting your child to practice on time.

- Making sure your child attends the majority of practices and games.

- Telling the coach if your child is unable to attend practice or game.

- Supervising your child at all times. No child should be left unsupervised, even to go to the restroom.

- Practicing good sportsmanship. Good sportsmanship includes cheering for all players (even members of the other team), and being respectful to the Game Monitor, others coaches and other players.

- Cheering instead of criticizing. To keep the atmosphere fun and engaging, parents should only shout positive encouragement, instead of criticism, from the sideline.

- Letting the coach do the coaching. Parents should not be coaching from the sidelines unless they have already signed up to be a coach.

- Giving the team and the referee space on the sideline. Please stay about three feet back from the sideline to allow players room and to give space to Game Monitor to indicate if the ball has rolled out of play.

Basic Field Rules

These basic field rules must be followed during Micro Soccer:

-No dogs allowed. Bringing a dog to practice or games may result in the revocation of our field permits.

-Pick up litter.

-Please leave the field just how you found it.

F.A.Q:

Why Small Sided Games?  Ask a child to do something, and they will remember it fifty percent of the time. Show them how to do it, and they will remember it seventy percent of the time. Have them do it, and they will remember it eighty to ninety percent of the time.

How do you learn anything by repetition?  You do it by reducing the number of players on the playing field and the size of the field. Micro Soccer or small-sided games allows the player to touch the ball over and over again; solving the problems needed to play the game successfully.

What is Micro Soccer?

Micro Soccer program is for youth players ages six and under. The program is strictly developmental with an emphasis on learning and fun, rather than winning or scores. In Micro Soccer there are only six players on the field, three on each team. Smaller teams and fewer players on the field allow each player to be more engaged in the game, and provides a better learning environment for all participants. The primary goal of Micro Soccer is to teach the game of soccer, and to promote the joy of the sport to children under the age of 6, as well as to their parents and guardians.
