League Overview
An instructional soccer clinic is offered to Kindergarten and 1st grade players in the spring and fall seasons. (We do not offer a program for children in pre-K or pre-school.) The clinic runs for six weeks with five weeks of instruction and small games, and a season ending “tournament” session in week six, where the players compete in a series of small-sided games and celebrate with ribbons and a treat at the conclusion. Parent volunteers are a key part of this program. No coaching or soccer experience is necessary. Sessions last about 60 minutes each week and are held on Saturdays at Village School – Middle Fields.
The fall and spring seasons offer leagues for both Kindergarten and 1st grade players.
Details about the approach and goals of the clinic program are included in the MYSA CLINIC PROGRAM OUTLINE on the website.
