U7 (2017) “Sevens”
Boys, Girls and Co-Ed options available
United DFC's "Sevens" soccer program promises an abundance of excitement as our U7 players dive into the joy of playing games.The program consists of two skill development practices a week with an exhilarating ‘festival’ or ‘game night’ every fourth practice. Festival nights will see players engaging in small-sided 3v3 games against other teams from our club. The Sevens program serves as a transitional year for players, acting as a bridge between our U6 Mini program and the decision to join either the U8/9 Community or U8/9 Skill Centers program. This exciting intermediate step accommodates both beginners and experienced players, allowing them to make informed choices for u8/9 based on their availability, interests, and commitment levels.
Additionally, throughout the season, players can look forward to special events like Soccermania and Soccer by the Sea in addition to our weekly practices. United DFC’s approach prioritizes skill enhancement, personal growth, and, above all, a fun and inclusive soccer experience for everyone involved.
U7 will have 2 sessions per week on Monday/Wednesday, or Tuesday/Thursday (depending on field choice)
