Players 6 - 8 years old

Soccer training for 6 to 8 year olds establishes the basic practice of a long- term training program. The objective of training for this age group is to create a solid foundation for taking things to the next level!

Players 8 - 10 years old



These years are referred to as "The Golden Age of Learning". This is when children can absorb many new concepts and able to apply what they have learned on the soccer field. Players learn and master simple techniques through appropriate repetitions. Training exercises are made to be fun. The players will gain a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment through applying the technical skills they learned in practice to actual game situations.

During these years, the players will gain in muscular strength, coordination and psychological maturity. We will focus on gaining more technical skills through specialized techniques and coordination. Players should start refining the techniques they have already learned. We will practice how to apply techniques through real match situations. The primary objective for BSU coaches at this age level, is individual player development and growth. To continue building upon progress, this player is refining skills sets year round.
