KidsPlay Instructional Soccer Leagues are designed to help veteran and inexperienced players develop skills in a positive and supportive environment. Special emphasis is placed on the development of dribbling, receiving and passing/support skills. League games are played 5 v 5 allowing for maximum touches on the ball and plenty of playing time for all players. After a basic evaluation session conducted during Week #1, an even amount of experienced and inexperienced players are distributed onto all teams. All game and practice sessions are coordinated by 2-3 KidsPlay coaches. Players meet once each week for a 30-40 minute training session followed immediately by a game that lasts 35-45 minutes. A league schedule is distributed at the first session; parents are notified of their child s team assignment 1-2 days after the first session. A KidsPlay team shirt is included in the league fee.
