What Parents Should Expect

The concept of a team and the intricacies of soccer are not understood at this age and parents should not stress about this; let the coaches and trainers help your child develop. Below are of some of things that we’ve learned are important for parents to know up front. Each of these items below is a primary focus of the training that will occur at the Academy level.

  •     The training is to be fun, safe, and enjoyable for the kids
  •      Players tend to focus on themselves, the ball, and the goal
  •      Players at this age struggle to understand the concept of passing and may at times steal the ball from teammates
  •      Field positions are not taught at this age
  •     They are going to make a lot of mistakes, that is okay

 

Parents Sideline Behavior

          1.   Always be positive in everything you say, no negative comments are allowed

          2.   Always tell your child you love them and don't ask them if they won or lost

                    a.  Ask if they had fun, what they learned, what they can work on

          3.   Do not encourage or stress scoring a goal; they all want this and do not need additional pressure

          4.   Do not compare your child to others; focus on their strengths and motivate them to continue developing at their own pace.

          5.   Enjoy your child’s game, relax and have fun, don’t stress over it, encourage them and accept them for all they can do

UAFC staff and coaches are very open to communication. If you have a question please call, email, text, or talk to us BEFORE or AFTER practice. Please do not interrupt during practice so we can focus on the training of your child.
