U7-U8 Boys

Birth years: 2020 (U7), 2019 (U8)

Developing core soccer skills including lots of games and fun

Who this program is for: 

This program is for players who are ready to build core soccer skills in a playful, energetic environment that supports confidence and learning. This program is a great next step after U4-U6 or for players new to the sport. It is designed for players ready to focus on building foundational soccer skills while still building their overall physical literacy.  

The Player Experience: 

The program helps players develop their movement ABCs — agility, balance, coordination, and speed — while learning the basics of soccer through fun, game-based activities. Players build skills such as dribbling, passing, shooting, ball control, and introductory team play, with a strong emphasis on cooperation. 

The program includes two weekly sessions: Station Sessions, focused on skill development through rotating activities and small-sided games, and Game Day Sessions, where players play games with minimal coaching to encourage creativity and independence.

  • Two 50-minute sessions per week held inside the Dome, Tuesdays and Sundays
