Team Practice with Volunteer Coach
Volunteer coaches lead the teams on gameday and the team practice.
The FSCI Rec Academy utilizes a small-sided game format.
The small-sided game maximizes player engagement and development by reducing the number of players and field size.
This approach increases individual touches on the ball and promotes simple decision-making.
More Touches = More Development
Every child is involved. More dribbling, more passing, more shooting.
Faster Decision Making
Smaller fields and fewer players require quicker reactions and smarter choices.
Increased Confidence
With more chances to contribute, kids feel empowered and excited.
Better Skills Development
Tight spaces force better technique and smarter movement.
More FUN!
Let kids be kids. Since kids are more involved, it is more fun and exciting.
Tired of watching kids stand on the field not involved ?
Large 11v11 games may look like "real soccer". However, for younger players, it's more like a game of "Find the Ball... Maybe."
