U6 Micro Soccer is a coed program for boys and girls ages six and under, with smaller fields, shorter games, and only eight players (four per side) on the field at a time. The program is strictly developmental, with an emphasis on learning and fun rather than on winning or scores. Smaller teams and fewer players on the field allow each player to be more engaged in the game and provides a better learning environment for all participants
6U Micro Soccer Summary
Teams meet Tuesdays and Thursdays between 5:30 pm - 6:30 pm and 6:45 pm - 7:45 pm.
The first half hour is reserved for team practice, and the second half hour is devoted to gameplay, with coaches taking the place of referees to supervise play and help children learn.
