Roots Program Descriptions
|
KICK START 1
This is a program for the beginner. Children
learn "balance on the ball" and gain self -
confidence at dribbling, controlling and
shooting the ball. KICK START 1 prepares
them to welcome new challenges in soccer
and gets them ready for the next level of play,
KICK START 2!
KICK START 2
Children who have "graduated" from
KICK START 1 level learn advanced
"attacking" and defending technique. They
are introduced to the feel of competition in
small - sided training sessions. Higher
level dribbling "moves", shooting against an
opponent, scoring, passing, and how to
defend are all taught in this program.
BASIC GOALKEEPING
Young players learn all of the important
technique that gets them started at learning
how to play the position properly. Children
love to play goal-keeper and will advance
quickly by learning the right way.
