Set Up: Our U4 Lil' Kickers program will be a separate division that focuses on fun and fundamentals, introducing our youngest players to the game. Their experience will be clinic based. Our U6 Juniors Program will have a clinic element but will also include games at the end of clinic time. As the season continues, U6 Juniors will dedicate more and more time to playing games.
Game Format: U6 Juniors will play with 4 v 4 and no goalie and size 3 ball.
Locations: Both programs will have clinics/games at their home fields at the MVNU Grass Soccer Fields
*Please note that while the U6 Juniors program is only on Saturday mornings, we do want to offer select opportunities for Juniors players to practice with our Academy Teams. It's a great opportunity for them to get instruction from Coach Kaleb Blevins (Our Guest Coach and MVNU men's soccer coach) and get a taste of what it's like to be on the U8, U10 and U12 travel programs for the future.
