Players will learn individual soccer skill from fun games that involve dribbling, turns, changes of direction and ball skills, as well as scoring goals. Players develop coordination, balance, agility, and social skills, again with the emphasis on fun. Players are encouraged to learn at their own pace and will be given individual attention as required so that they are ready to move on to a more structured style of play for the following season.
