Practices: Wednesdays at RiverwoodsGames: No games until 6U and above
Our AYSO Playground program is for 3-5 year olds - based on the birth year of the child. The Playground/Schoolyard Soccer program introduces 3-5 year olds to soccer in a fun, pressure-free environment.
Playground Soccer uses group activities, soccer themes, and parent participation to develop the fundamental motor skills that prepare kids for all sports.
Players participate on a weekly basis with their guardian working with them on the field. The sessions are around 45 minutes (depending on attention span/emotions of the players).
The program uses soccer as the "teaching thread" to develop fundamental motor skills such as balance, running, jumping and throwing for three year olds. This is the foundation of sports success and an active lifestyle. Let your little one learn the beautiful game the right way!
Guardian Participation is REQUIRED!
AYSO coaches lead sessions that create a fun, parent participatory atmosphere utilizing age appropriate activities.
