About This Activity
Description
We're sorry, but this class/activity is over. The last meeting was Saturday, November 16, 2024.
At the Y, our recreational soccer league helps 8-9 year olds develop fundamental soccer skills while learning teamwork, strategy, and sportsmanship. Skills taught include passing, shooting, dribbling, and the rules of the game. The focus of this program is to have fun, make new friends, and play soccer in a hybrid recreational-competitive environment.
Each week will consist of one practice and one game.
***ALL TIMES AND DAYS SUBJECT TO CHANGE BASED ON REGISTRATION NUMBERS AND NUMBER OF COACHES AND THEIR AVAILABILITY***What Do I Need:
- Athletic attire, closed-toe shoes, and a water bottle are needed each time your child comes to play soccer at the Y.
- Players in this league will use a Size 4 Soccer Ball and we highly recommend that they bring one with them to practice with their name on it.
- An email address should be on file with the YMCA to ensure timely and efficient communication to our participants. Please feel free to contact us to verify which email address we have on file for your family.
- Family involvement is important in Y sports! You can bring a lawn chair to stay comfortable while cheering on your child during practices and games, but you might also want to come wearing closed-toe shoes, too--just in case you want to join!
Volunteer Opportunities
YMCA sports are based on seven guiding principles: everyone plays, safety first, fair play, positive competition, sports for all, sports for fun, and family involvement. Our leagues are supported by parent volunteers who are engaged as coaches, referees, and raving fans. We appreciate your participation and understanding throughout the season, as well as your engagement and support as a volunteer. If you are interested in being a coach, please contact our Sports Director, Jayde Doucette, at jdoucette@suncoastymca.org for more information.
For any questions, please call our branch at 727-375-9622.
