SOCCER STARS PROGRAM 2018/19

The Soccer Stop Sportplex Soccer Stars program is an all  encompassing program where each class is specifically designed to enhance the social, emotional and physical development occurring at each age. We teach skills in a language children can understand, present skills in a way that captures their attention and set standards that are high, yet achievable, but more importantly we make learning fun. Although we focus on soccer, this is a program that stresses team work, listening skills, following directions, as well as hand/foot/eye coordination, motor skills, and basic soccer skills. The emphasis is on FUN and group participation. Registration includes 8 classes, a T-shirt and small treat at the end of each class.
 

THE STARS – 3 and 4 yr. old class (8 sessions)

This class concentrates on foot –eye coordination, balance, dribbling, kicking, and physical movement. We don’t play competitive games but stress the aspect of having fun through a variety of activities incorporating the soccer ball. All activities will focus on the mental and physical development of the child, as well as team work and cooperation.

Two class options

Mondays 5:30 pm

Tuesdays 5:30 pm 

THE SUPER STARS – 5 and 6 yr. old class (8 sessions)
In this class, focus is on working and developing running with control, balance, dribbling, kicking, eye/foot coordination, as well as stressing team work and cooperation. Fundamental soccer skills will be taught through a variety of exercises entailing multiple ball touches. We try to instill in players a love for the game through fun activities and small sided games.
 

Mondays 6:30 pm

Tuesdays 6:30 pm

Each hour session will consist of 25 minutes of skill training followed by 30 minutes of 4v4 games

1. Play across width in one half of large field 
2. Mini goals with no goalkeepers
3. Maximum 6 players on roster
4. House team individual fee: $80

The 4v4 game is played by and for children, and is endorsed by the U.S. Soccer Federation. Our program will allow kids to get numerous more touches on the ball compared to an 8v8 game. More ball contact, less bunching, more learning, more fun.

This program has a track record of developing players that are typically ahead of their peers when it comes time to tryout for club-level teams.

We are no longer accepting team registrations for this program, however, you can still request to play with up to 5 friends but each player must fill out a registration form.
