Webster Micro Soccer offers children a fun and safe environment to learn to play soccer though age appropriate activities and small-sided soccer games.
Why Small Sided Games? Ask a child to do something, and they will remember it fifty percent of the time. Show them how to do it, and they will remember it seventy percent of the time. Have them do it, and they will remember it eighty to ninety percent of the time.
How do you learn anything by repetition? You do it by reducing the number of players on the playing field and the size of the field. Micro Soccer or small-sided games allows the player to touch the ball over and over again; solving the problems needed to play the game successfully.
Appropriate activities for:
- U6 (K & 1st grade) would involve a lot of psychomotor development games involving running, jumping, hopping etc. and dribbling activities.
- U8 (2nd & 3rd grade) would involve lots of dribbling type games and some activities working with a partner.
