Summer weekly pick up sessions 2024

During the summer we will be running a weekly pickup session for all players from the community to provide an opportunity for kids to continue playing thoughout the summer in pick up style scrimmage sessions. The sessions will be low cost and subsidized partially by the club providing coaches to supervise, and flexible for players to attend whatever weeks they can around other plans to hopefully encourage participation.

The reason these sessions will be scrimmaged focused is because this is an intergral part of learning to play the game, and what kids also love doing the most - playing the game. Scrimmaging lets kids test their skills within a live game environment, while also building their decision making skills within the game which is extremely important as the game is dynamic and fluid. Unfortunately kids in the USA do not scrimmage enough to build these decision making skills compared to other countries around the world, which is why our summer program will become focussed around this.

Players will be placed in groups to scrimmage which will be mixed across age groups and vary in formats from 4v4 to 9v9 to test players within different game environments.
