Snacks: At the U6 level, parents should bring their own child’s drink/snack. No "team snack" will be provided. You may bring your own water or sports drink.

Teams: We will not have formal teams, leagues or scorekeeping. Soccer will be geared toward having fun, socializing, with a little learning about the game of soccer. We respect and understand the attention span and physical limitations of the children in this age range. This program is not about making polished players, but instead, it is our hope that the kids will have FUN, become a bit more fit, and learn about themselves and others through the game of soccer. We will be instructing the children in basic rules of the game and the fundamental skills of the sport.

At this age level, A RESPONSIBLE ADULT IS REQUIRED TO STAY DURING ALL SESSIONS. Please keep this in mind when registering.
