• Goal is for kids to begin following instructions from a coach, but much
is learned through self-discovery and Skill Oriented Fun Games
• Small Sided Games are structured to allow all players to get many touches
on the soccer ball while encouraging the players to shoot and score as often
as possible
• Coaching at the team level is discouraged as it is natural for all the
players to want the soccer ball – whether taking it from their own teammate
or the other team
