The benefits of this program are that it will give new players a chance to see what soccer is all about and try it for a short period of time to see if they enjoy the sport. The sessions will be run by professional coaches. This is also a great opportunity for parents to assist as volunteers, if interested, and to begin learning or re-learning basic soccer skills and what is involved in coaching young players.
Sessions will be held every Wednesday or Thursday evening indoors for a 1 hour. Times are scheduled for 5:00 - 6:00 pm and 6:00 - 7:00 pm.
Main focus will be on player development, introduction to soccer, and having lots of fun. Players will each be given a jersey and are required to wear shin guards at the sessions. At the end of each session, the players will be divided up to participate in a mini game.
While no parent coaches/volunteers are required for the sessions, in order to maximize the value of the sessions and to also help with the future of Semiahmoo Soccer Club, parent assistance is appreciated and encouraged. As the children move into older age divisions, coaches are always needed and this is a great opportunity to try your hand at coaching and see the rewards that coaching offers.
After your player has registered, you will need to contact the Mini Coordinator to indicate whether you would prefer the early or late time slot session. Please also note if you would be interested in assisting at the sessions.
Confirmation of session day, time and location will be done in September (Fall Session) and December (Winter Session).
