Micro-Soccer Training
Practice, practice, practice makes a great little soccer player!
EUSA’s Micro-Soccer program is designed to help young players become more comfortable playing the game of soccer by placing more emphasis on developing their basic skills as an individual player rather than focus on team-oriented skills. We’ve partnered with three new trainersfor player development to provide our coaches with training manuals and organized training sessions to help our players get the best possible chance to become great youth soccer players. Below you will find notes and guides for those who are coaches in our program to help them stay on top of the skills and drills that they should be teaching the players every week.
MS/K (Pre-K & Kindergarten) and MS/1 (1st & 2nd Grade) Training Schedule
Coaches in these age groups are e-mailed a manual that helps them to prepare for each week’s lessons. The schedules shown below are for the lessons that coaches should be familiar with each week when they practice with the players Please note if a week is rained out we will be going back to th previous week :
