Winter 2017  Micro Soccer Session

Marin Elite is delighted to announce our upcoming Winter 2017 Micro Soccer. The session will commence December – Mid Feburuary.

The Micro Soccer program provides educational and developmental training for our youngest players, born between 2010-2009. The rules for micro-soccer emphasize basic skills while having lots of fun. Micro Soccer is broken up into three age-groups. Teams are formed on a co-ed basis and will train and play under this format. The three age-groups are:

2010 (U8), 2009 (U9), 2008 ( U10)

The age-groups are based on US Youth Soccer guidelines and we believe following these we will be able to offer a beneficial development program for the players.

The concept behind micro-soccer is to allow more touches on the ball by having small teams playing on small fields. The sessions are led by professional coaches alongside volunteer micro team coaches. The sessions are designed to expose kids to the basic fundamentals of the game of soccer while promoting a “fun first” atmosphere.

Micro Soccer uses small-sided games with fewer players, smaller fields, and shorter game times as a way of keeping kids engaged. As they get older, more emphasis is place on learning and additional players are added to the field to allow interaction and promote teamwork.

This approach has many advantages:

• Modified soccer will develop players faster with more touches
• Opportunity to improve decision making
• More scoring and faster paces keeps kids engaged
• Offers parent/coaches an opportunity to grow in progressions as well
