NEW! Start Smart Soccer (Age 3)                

Start Smart Soccer is a developmentally appropriate introductory soccer program for children 3 years old. Start Smart Programs, created by the National Alliance for Youth Sports, help kids get ready for sports and succeed in life. It is an innovative step-by-step approach that builds confidence and self-esteem in a fun and safe sports environment. It was developed by top motor skill development specialists in the field of youth sports. Parent-child groups perform motor skill tasks that gradually build confidence in children while they are having fun at the same time. Each Start Smart Program utilizes the Start Smart Sports Readiness Test to help parents objectively measure kids’ abilities. As the program progresses and children show improvement, the skills and exercises are altered so that each child remains challenged. Parents spend quality time together with their child while learning how to properly teach and support them in sports. Start Smart participants will develop proper motor skills that will allow them to enjoy and succeed in their youth sports future!

Player Evaluation (Honeycutt Road Park)

In an effort to provide more balanced teams, players in the 8U-17U divisions will participate in a player evaluation at Fleming Loop Park (503 Fleming Loop Road)  At the player evaluations, players will participate in a series of drills to determine the player's skill level. The results of these evaluations are confidential and are not shared with the players and parents. Players will need to arrive that their designated times (times are posted below and will be emailed to parents), check in and go through the evaluation drills. Players should wear t-shirt, shorts and athletic shoes/cleats and must wear shin guards with socks. Bring water, sunscreen and bug spray. Parents may want to bring a small folding chair for themselves and their player as they wait. Once the player has completed the evaluation, they are free to leave.  All players and coaches should attend skill assessments.  If you are unable to attend, your child will be randomly assigned to a team.
