PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONS, AGES, & RECOMMENDATIONS
MINI (AGES 2 TO YOUNG 3)
Soccer Shots Mini is a high-energy program introducing children to fundamental soccer principles, such as using your feet, dribbling and the basic rules of the game. Through fun games, songs and positive reinforcement, children will begin to experience the joy of playing soccer and being active.
Parental participation is required for this age group. We ask that parents come into the playing field and walk through the games and drills.
CLASSIC (AGES OLDER 3 TO 4, OR OLDER 3 TO 5, OR 4 TO YOUNG 6) – DEPENDENT UPON LOCATION
We offer several age variations of the Classic program in an effort to provide safe and appropriate programming for our players and families as the development, size, demeanor, motor skills, and overall physical ability of children in this age range can vary significantly.
Soccer Shots Classic utilizes creative and imaginative games to focus on basic soccer skills like dribbling, passing and shooting. We also highlight a positive character trait each session such as respect, teamwork and appreciation.
For Classic-level sessions, we ask that parents / guardians be involved to the extent that their child is comfortably able to engage in the session. For the Classic age group, we also request parents’ /guardians’ assistance in helping child(ren) respect and preserve Soccer Shots equipment such as cones, goals, and rings.
If a child is 6 years of age and is ready for more technical foot skill training and an introduction to game play, we suggest that they “graduate” from Classic and participate in our “Premier” program.
PREMIER (AGES 6-8)
Soccer Shots Premier focuses on individual skill, fitness and sportsmanship, providing an opportunity for children to be challenged through fun games and team interaction. Children will also be introduced to competition in a developmentally appropriate manner. Soccer Shots Premier programs typically run for 45 minutes and are more technically advanced than our Classic-level programs. We put a larger focus on foot skill development and growing a basic understanding of real game play.
PREMIER “GAME PLAY” (AGES 6-8) – A GAME PLAY EXPERIENCE!
Premier Game Play follows the progression from our regular Premier-level programming and is recommended for those who are at least 6 years of age and who have participated in at least one season of Soccer Shots Premier. The hour long format allows for 20 minutes of warm ups and skills training, while the the remaining 40 minutes is focused on traditional game play with introduction of kick-offs, throw-ins, corner kicks, goal kicks, etc.!
Premier Game Play is offered during select seasons and is not a year-round program.
