The FFC Co-Ed U7 Soccer Clinic is a developmental league that focuses on footwork and basic soccer skills for the beginner age 4-6. For the first three weeks of the season, players will run through a clinic-style practice facilitated by coaches and led by our league director. Beginning week 4 – thirty minute games will be played with a 15 minute practice. In each of our soccer leagues, we seek to teach our players the game of soccer in an age appropriate, healthy and encouraging environment. We believe that there is such a thing as ‘healthy competition.’ Size 3 soccer ball recommended. Game format 4 v 4 no goalies.
Our Fall League begins in August and the Spring League begins in April. Registrations are available one month prior. There will be a short devotional time where we share biblical principles with the players and encourage them to pursue a life with Christ every week. The season will conclude with a league celebration that includes food, fun, participation awards, and league champion awards.
