Girls 1st and 2nd Grade Development Program

The 1st & 2nd grade girls program is designed with the goal of teaching the fundamental skills of the sport while striving to maximize player enthusiasm and fun. Practice will be once per week (1 hour) with  "Small Ball" games on Sundays. The benefit of the small sided games is that it will maximize the number of times each player touches the ball, thereby improving development and encouraging participation for players of all skill levels.
