Fall 5U Schoolyard/ 4U Playground (Updated 3/5/2025)
Coed play for 10 weekly sessions. After signing up, parents will be contacted in August to sign up for either "Saturdays only" starting Aug 23, 2025 or Monday afternoons only starting Aug 25. We will have a list where parents can select the same group as others they wish to be grouped with (~20-30 kids/group). All instruction for activities and games are led by professional coaches but also require parent involvement to help learn skills and oversee scrimmage activities when kids are broken up into smaller groups. Note: This program is organized in groups that will break up into teams each week (often by gender when possible) but there is not one assigned team as we do in older age groups.
Required equipment: Size 3 soccer ball, shin guards worn under soccer socks. Soccer cleats are not required.
AYSO provides a jersey, shorts and soccer socks.
Fee: ~$165
