3U – 5U PROGRAM
Our 2 - 5 year old youth soccer program is specifically designed for the beginner player. We place an emphasis on introducing players to the very basics of soccer in a high-energy, fun environment through interactive and imaginary games.
We have fields conveniently located throughout El Paso on the East, West, and Northeast areas. Each program location that is closest to you is where you will meet twice a week – at the same time, on the same day, and at the same park.
Each session kicks off with a fun group warm-up, followed by activities led by your team’s coach at your field. Teams will also participate in scrimmages within the program time that you sign up for towards the end of the season.
Our philosophy is to teach, inspire, and excel. We strive to instill this philosophy in every player, at every level – regardless of their experience or age. To achieve this, we apply an age-appropriate training model. By the time players graduate from our program they should:
SOCIAL: Grasp important life lessons such as the value of respecting their teammates and coaches, the significance of listening during instruction, and the importance of teamwork.
PHYSICAL: Develop motor skills, balance, flexibility, and agility.
PSYCHOLOGICAL: Be motivated and inspired by the sport of soccer through the encouraging and fun environment experienced within the program.
TECHNICAL: Understand the very basics of soccer in regards to how their body interacts with the ball – dribbling through space, change of speed and direction, and kicking.
TACTICAL: Know the most basic rules of the sport – to not use their hands, to understand the boundaries of the field, to become familiar with direction of play, and to become familiar with the concept of a game.
