What does a typical Youth Soccer practice look like?

Kids rotate in small groups to different stations. They participate in skill-building exercises and game-based activities. Each training station is tailored to the age-appropriate and developmental levels of each small group. During a portion of each practice, we split into teams and scrimmage. Our primary goals are for kids to have fun, make new friends, improve their skills, and develop confidence. Our athletes are always engaged and constantly moving throughout practices.
