In creating this Micro Soccer program, we’ve acted on the example of the overwhelming majority of experienced soccer coaches and educators who have for years been saying that small-sided soccer is the best format for younger players. When playing with only two or three teammates, younger players have many more touches on the ball and participate in the game more fully. This increases their enjoyment and learning of soccer. Micro Soccer play also reduces a complex game to its basic features, such as the triangle, which are more readily understood by kids.
If after reading the Under 6 Micro Soccer Coaches Guide you still have questions about starting a U6 team or becoming a coach, please write to coaches@rockridgesoccer.org.
