OBJECTIVES
The objective of the U-5 Jamboree program is to provide young players and their parents with a “pressure free” introduction to the beautiful and simple game of soccer. At this age players should be exposed to soccer by playing simple, fun activities and games that require no practices, and a minimal time commitment.
The U-5 Jamboree program allows players to discover the game for themselves, while parents are given a soccer foundation on which to build and grow into future AYSO coaches, referees and administrators.
ORGANIZATION
AYSO Coach programs including the U-5 Jamboree are developed by soccer and child development specialists. The AYSO Coaching Program is accredited by National Council for Accreditation of Coaching Eduction (NCACE).
Jamboree One with One is the combination of two different formats that, put together, will provide the best possible introduction to soccer for our youngest players. In AYSO soccer, a jamboree means that teams are formed on a weekly basis depending on how many players attend a given session. One with one refers to the concept that each player will have a parent (or other adult) working with them on the field.
A Master Coach will lead each session. Our Master Coaches are AYSO Advanced Coach certified with years of experience coaching children from the ages of 4 to 18. The Master Coach will introduce a game/activity that will practice a certain skill or part of the game using explanation and demonstration. Each pair (player/parent) will then attempt the activity while the Master Coach circulates between pairs providing specific help or suggestions so that the activities are performed as intended. After a suitable amount of time, the Master Coach will bring the players and parents back together as a group and recap what they have done, introducing the next game/activity.
Each Jamboree One with One session will end with a 20 minute short-sided game (3 v 3). It's most important to allow the players to play without coaching or teaching them as this experience is designed to expose them to soccer, not to begin developing them. The two goals of the program are to allow the players to enjoy the activities and to let the game be the teacher.
SESSION SCHEDULE
The Jamboree will follow this basic schedule:
20 minutes Form groups, explain training games for the day.
20 minutes Groups play training games
5 minutes Water break
25 minutes 3 v 3 games
Boys and girls have separate Jamboree sessions. The group in the second session will begin while the first group is playing their 3 v 3 games.
