Why pick U8/9 Fundamentals?
United DFC's U8&9 Fundamentals Community program is designed for a dynamic blend of skill development, physical literacy, and fun. With two weekly sessions, teams will engage in focused training at one practice, emphasizing skill development and fostering a love for the game. The second session of the week will be a festival or game night which presents an exciting opportunity for teams to play 5v5 games against two other teams in a 60-minute block. The program prioritizes the core values of Fun, Friendship, and Skill Development. It's worth noting that there are no weekend commitments, except for special events like Soccermania and Soccer by the Sea on designated weekends.
What Days of the Week is U8/9 Fundamentals Offered?
U8 & U9 will have 2 sessions per week on Monday/Wednesday, or Tuesday/Thursday (depending on field choice)
