2010 Spring and Summer Programs - UPDATED July 8th!

U6-U8 Mini Soccer Skills and Scrimmage - This program has been specifically designed for the U6-U8 player. Too often these little ones are thrown into training sessions designed for older players. The PDA has designed a curriculum that takes into account the physical, social, cognitive and psychological aspect of these players to ensure that they are having tons of fun in a challenging and stimulating environment!
