3 YEAR OLDS
Join our introduction to soccer program for parents with children age 3. This program is focused on building basic motor skills and introducing children to the game of soccer while giving parents ideas on how to play together at home.

4-5 YEAR OLDS
This group will meet once a week with a focus on dribbling the ball, shooting, and fun!

6-7 YEAR OLDS
In this group, we prepare kids for games by teaching passing, defense, and the rules of the game. This group will meet once a week and play games after the first two weeks. Players also have the option to participate in Saturday 4v4 games held at 11:00 am throughout the season! Beginning at 11:00 am, players will be split up into teams and play small-sided 4v4 games. There is no extra charge, just an additional opportunity for the 6-7s to play soccer!

8-10 YEAR OLDS
At this age, we start to teach more advanced team concepts and strategies while still focusing on basic skills. This group will meet once a week for practice, and then after two weeks will play games on Saturdays at 1:00 pm. If they prefer, 10-year-old players can join the travel team.

Referee/Coach-in-Training
(ages 13 & up)
For players who have aged out of our program, we now offer the opportunity to remain involved with youth soccer by assisting the coach with a soccer team for the season, or by assisting the director with officiating and refereeing soccer games for younger children. Those interested should email Jack Miller at info@monroecountyymca.org.
