MICRO SOCCER: AGE GROUPS U4 & U5

Micro Soccer (U4 & U5) provides an introduction to the game of soccer in a positive, engaging, and non-competitive atmosphere.  At this level, our youngest players learn basic soccer skills while developing their gross motor skills and coordination. Players are encouraged to have multiple touches on the ball through fun skill-building games. They are introduced to soccer while making new friends and most of all, having FUN! All Micro coaches are parent volunteers. We strongly encourage all parents to be involved in our soccer program through volunteerism.

We have adapted the small-sided game approach for this age group which is recommended by US Youth Soccer.  

  • Small-sided games (3v3) allow more opportunities to touch the ball and be involved in play.
  • There are no Goalkeepers at the MICRO level in order to encourage all players on the field to stay involved and promote goal-scoring, which helps build player confidence.
  • At this level, we focus on individual skill development vs. wins and losses.
  • MICRO provides our players with an introduction to skills and experience needed to progress into our more competitive leagues in future seasons.
