SCHOOLYARD PROGRAM (FALL 2024)
Parents and New Players
Welcome to the Schoolyard program. We hope this program will give you a positive experience in the great game of soccer.
Location: Warm Springs Middle School (parking at the Torrey Pines Park located at 39455 Torrey Pines Rd. Murrieta, Ca. 92563 - the back of the school, do not go to the front of the school).
Objective
The objective of this program is to provide young players and their parents with a “pressure free” introduction to the beautiful game of soccer. At this age, players should be exposed to soccer by playing simple, fun activities and games that require little to no practice, and a minimal time commitment.
Schoolyard One with One format
Schoolyard One with One is the combination of two different formats, when put together, will provide the best possible introduction to soccer for our youngest players. One with One refers to the concept that each player will have a parent (or other adult) working with them on the field. A “Master Coach” will lead each session. The Master Coach will introduce a game/activity that will practice a certain skill or part of the game using explanation and demonstration. Each pair (player/parent) will then attempt the activity while the Master Coach circles provides specific help so that the activities are performed as intended.
