- Outdoor small sided game simulation prepares our players for the next level of competitive games.
The 4 v 4 scrimmages give the player more play time, leadership, making own decision and many ball touches per game.
MORE ABOUT our inetrnal games:
The 4 v 4 format is in compliance with the United States Soccer Federation (USSF) small-sided standards for U7/U8 players.
Players will train twice each week and play in a 4v4 format for scrimmages. Training will focus on individual 1v1 ability, passing skills, striking skills, and a major focus on the overall development of motor coordination and motor skills necessary for the holistic development of young players.
The only focus on tactics will be applied through actual 4v4 or 5v5 or 7v7 play. The game will be used as the learning experience instead of just coach’s instruction. (LET THEM PLAY)
