STA, in conjunction with Morris United and Mount Olive, are pleased to offer a FREE program for Girls and Boys born in 2018, 2017 and 2016 as an introduction to the beautiful game of soccer. As of 2021 Fall season, we now offer a Saturday program for all U5 players at the Morris United location!
During the STA practices, players are taught fundamental soccer skills and then put into small sided (2v2, 3v3, 4v4) games to find their own way to use them on the field. While traditional recreation programs play 6v6 or 8v8, fewer players on the field ensures each player gets more touches on the ball, and plays a bigger part of the game. Coaches will follow a curriculum so players are learning new skills each week within small sided games. With a player centered environment, coaches allow players the opportunity to experiment, try things, and make their own decisions. There are also no referees, and players keep score (or not), with an emphasis on trying new skills rather than winning. In addition, parents and supporters are kept back from the side of the field to create less of a gallery feel.
All our staff are qualified soccer professionals, experienced in working with these age groups.
