Youth Micro Training

Micro Training

Micro training practices are currently held for 6-7 year olds and 8-10 year olds during the week or 6-8 year olds and 9-11 year olds on weekends. Online registration is strongly encouraged. Please make sure you have an up to date membership and signed waiver. 

Micro Training presents our youngest players with basic technical training and an exciting introduction to team soccer. Participants will be learning skills like dribbling, passing, shooting, and field-placement to make the game portion more successful. Games are played on small indoor fields, encouraging children to develop ball control, an understanding of the game and the importance of teamwork. Micro is recommended for those who have at least one year of experience playing soccer, through our stars classes or a comparable program.

In conjunction with recommendations from U.S. Soccer’s Player Safety Campaign statement, we will not be practicing or providing training instruction on heading the soccer ball in an effort to limit head injuries.
