EYSA PRE-SOCCER

What Is Pre-Soccer?

Pre-Soccer is for boys and girls ages 3-4 that want to try soccer but are not quite sure if they want to be on a structured team. The children are taught by certified EYSA coaches the fundamentals of soccer including dribbling, rules, and teamwork but most importantly it is to have fun. Each week they will have a practice session and a scrimmage (after the second week). It is a 6-week program; children will need to have shin guards.

Dinomites

EYSA is pleased to announce in the Fall 2009 season we will begin using the DINOMITE Program. The Dinomites program is specifically designed to keep 3 and 4 year old minds focused, if that is possible, on learning the proper techniques of playing soccer by making it fun. The Dinomite program will include a custom ball to help develop proper foot technique. Each player will recieve their own ball, included in the registration cost, that they will bring to practice each week.

Pre-Soccer News

This program has rapidly grown over the last year and space is limited. Please register early to reserve your child's spot. This season, due to demand, we will offer three practice time slots. Each time slot will have a maximum on 16 kids. It is on a first come first serve basis.

PLEASE BILL MARTIN (490-3674) FOR ANY QUESTIONS

Pre-Soccer Schedule

*** T-shirts and Soccer Ball are included in the price of registration – registration also includes the end of the year pizza party and a medal for each player

*** We like everyone to be on time, but we are very patient at this age and understand if a player is late.

*** I know we all want to be the next soccer superstar, but the environment is very relaxed – we will try to learn some basics of soccer and hopefully not to chase butterflies when they fly past.

*** Parent interaction is encouraged and will be needed – it takes several people to help form lines, chase balls, and to keep the kids off the ground – when asked please help out, it will make it more fun for everyone

*** Teams will be divided up each Saturday – we do not assign permanent teams at this age because we do not know who will show up from week to week

*** If your child will be out an extended period of time please send me an email, where I do not start to worry.
