REC - Spring/Summer 2021
|
Our Co-ed Developmental Recreational in-house program is both educational and fun! It is a holistic approach that TEACHES players the game of soccer in a FUN supportive environment that addresses all aspects of development; Physical, Cognitive, Social and Emotional. It provides an opportunity for all children - without regard to athletic ability or soccer skill - to enjoy the “beautiful game”.
It is important that the children enjoy coming to training and the scrimmages/games so that they have a “good first impression” with the sport. We want every child in our club to have a positive experience learning the game in an age appropriate educational setting.
SPECIAL OFFER - Only $21 in '21! (That's over $40 in savings from last year!)

Spring/Summer Program Format:
- Coed program
- Focused on FUN and DEVELOPMENT
- Includes FIRE Soccer shirt
- Each session will be led by coaches licensed and trained to work with the age group, along with volunteer parent-coaches.
- Each session will be split between training activities and games/scrimmages against other teams.
- We will not keep score during these games/scrimmages as a way to allow players to try out the skills/ideas from training without worrying about making "mistakes". It's all about having fun, not wins & losses!
- Scrimmage/game formats will be anywhere from 3v3 to 6v6 (see information about benefits of small sided games)
