Small-sided Soccer is quickly taking over.
We believe that by providing small-sided soccer as our main league option, we will set the kids up for success in their future as soccer players.
Why is small sided-soccer getting so popular?
One of the main reasons for the sudden growth in the
popularity is the fact that it helps players to develop their
touch and control. ... The
small-sided players learn to be
alert and are ready for the ball at all times. They
are highly creative and they can improvise to
create chances out of nothing.
Does small- sided soccer help the kids skills?
Every action is faster so the speed of decision making is increased when playing small-sided and this helps train youth soccer players to think better when on the field. The majority of possessions in small-sided games are quick 1 or 2 touch combinations with teammates.
Adult & Youth soccer players from all skill levels and ages enjoy the small sided game.
We will offer Coed, women's leagues and tournaments starting in 2020
