Little Kickers
Information
Hi Everyone,
Well we are ready to start the Little Kicker’s program for Kindergarten to Second Grade. We will start next Tuesday, April 15, 2008 from 5:00pm to 6:30pm at St Paul’s Seminary field.
The purpose of this program is for the players to develop the basic skills needed in the game of soccer. We will focus on ball handling skills, passing, kicking, and the basics of the game. What we will not be focusing on is the playing organized soccer games. As the weeks go on, I will have small controlled scrimmages to explain the basic concepts and rules of the game. Each week we will focus on a particular skill that the practice will be built around. However, the focus will be on having fun and learning to work as a team. I will have several assistant coaches helping with various drills.
Since we do not have many practice dates, I will be trying very hard to get every practice in, so please dress your player according to the weather. They must have shin guards covered by socks (if they do not have shin guards they cannot participate), spikes if they have them (if not that is ok).
I will be communicating via the school website. If I do have to cancel, I will post it on the web page as soon as possible.
Please contact me with any questions or concerns.
Equipment:
Students will receive a t-shirt, players will were shorts, sweatpants, depending on the weather. All players must have shin guards. Soccer spikes are preferred but not required. No jewelry is permitted.
Cost: We ask each player to pay $15 (if they can) to help defray some of the costs of the program. If you can't pay the fee, it's not a problem.
