ABOUT MSC KIDS
Having and refining technical skill (ball mastery)l and confidence with the ball are some of the foundations that all soccer players need to possess to compete. MSC Kids is catered to teaching young children (beginners) who are in the beginning phases of learning the beautiful game. The program is designed to really engage young players in developing their skills by playing ball oriented games and making sure that they are having FUN while learning. Smiles are a good indication of fun, and we want all our players to feel happy to be there. This will allow their passion for the game to grow, passion being a primary foundation for any player. Coaches are keen to nurture both passion and skill so that the players can develop into complete players.
General Information
WHAT TO EXPECT AT A SESSION:
All of our sessions are designed around ball mastery. Ball Mastery or technical skill is a players' ability to control the ball quickly and close to their foot. All sessions are oriented around maximizing each player's foot contact with the ball. In each session, they will learn something new or go over something they have already learned to refine their technique. Our coaches aim to get players to love manipulating the ball with their feet while playing fun games. While the children are playing these games, they are steadily developing key attributes they will need if they choose to play competitive soccer. The more a player touches the ball, the better they will be when in possession of the ball.
This program is an introductory period for children of these ages, which is why we are committed to creating a nurturing atmosphere for our youngest players. A positive, distraction-free environment is key to developing players' confidence and willingness to take chances without fear of failure. Confidence is another key foundation for young players. The more confident they are when in possession of the ball, the more their confidence will grow in themselves. This age group is not only about player development but also social development as they are learning how to become teammates while playing a sport they enjoy. Players of this age group are expected to learn at their own pace and capacity. We just want them to have FUN while playing soccer.
