Munchkin U-6

Hello Parents,

Allow me to welcome you all to a brand new year and to the program called the

‘Munchkin’s.’ This spring will be a nine (9) week session and will run from the second Wednesday of April through the first Saturday of June.

I will be the head coach for our sessions which will introduce the game of soccer to the little peanuts in a progression type basis. By the end of this spring session, your children will be able to ‘dribble’, ‘trap’, ‘pass’, ‘shoot’, and even be able to play a little bit of goalkeeping.

We are going to tweak the program a bit this year to get a more personal feel to it. For the second week of play, we will break the kids into little groups and have them with a Coach for that duration of the practice session. All the groups will be practicing the same topic, but just with a specific Coach. We will also rotate the Coaches around within the groups from week to week so the kids can get to know all the Coaches.

At the end of this informational overview, you will find the actual schedule for and where we will be meeting.

Practice days will be held on Wednesday’s from 5:30-6:30pm.

(All practices will be at Raben Field, located on the corner of Willow and Keith Rd)

Game days will be held on Saturday’s from 10:00-11:00am.

(All games will be held at Drake Sports Park, located on Drake Rd south of Maple Rd)

You do not have to call, email, or confirm you are attending, just show up on the first Wednesday and we’ll take care of it from there. You will need to check in with me at the field before you can actually get out onto the field. As we gather to get started, I will address all questions and let you know what the format is and how we will proceed with you all as a group.

Please have ready with your kids a soccer ball (size 3 or 4), a water bottle and comfortable shoes to play in. Shin guards are mandatory and will need to be totally covered by their socks.

Below you will find the schedule for this spring and telephone numbers to ask and inquire about any questions or concerns.

Thanks again and welcome to the program.
