BEST Soccer Clinics
Our curricula will help improve your child's soccer skills and knowledge in a safe, fun and educational environment.
Ages 5 & 6: Players learn the importance of a good warm up through fun games and activities. The coaches will develop the basic foot skills, passing and shooting through structured games with every player actively involved.
Players will also learn the basics of soccer match play via 3v3 tournaments focusing on positions, start of play and dead ball situations. The games and matches develop safe play, teamwork, communication and interest in soccer while still having lots of FUN!!
Ages 7 and above: As players learn and grasp the basic fundamentals of soccer, focus can shift towards the WHEN WHERE and WHY in order to get a better understanding of the game of soccer. For example, the player will learn WHEN to dribble, WHERE to dribble and WHY we dribble.
The coaches ensure that foot skills, passing and shooting are reinforced and developed through a variety of coaching activities. Conditioned games (4v4, 5v5 and 6v6) are used to focus on the WHEN, WHERE and WHY we perform certain skills. The players will also develop their positional sense and spacial awareness in a tournament played at the end of every session. Players will be divided by age and skill level to ensure an appropriate environment for a challenging and fun camp week.

LYS recognizes and embraces the small size of our community. As such, it is our philosophy to maintain high child participation throughout the lifecycle of the program as our ultimate goal, with respect to team placement.
At all levels below U14, the strong preference will be to keep a team within the same school grade since children often prefer to be with their peers. When there are multiple teams within the same school grade, the placement process will aim to balance the teams to the extent reasonable, and to mix the teams the following year to provide a new experience for the players. Formal tryouts will not be held for teams below the U14 level.
At the U14 level, team assignment will be handled by the head coach. He/She will use level of ability, based on the tryout process, as his/her primary criteria.
If a team within a given grade has too few players, players from a different grade may be asked to play “out of grade”. Such requests will come from the Commissioner or President to the players’ parents.
Please note that parent-initiated requests for their child to “play-up” are not permitted.
A Word About Commitment
Please be aware that our goal of high child participation does not excuse poor player or parent commitment to the program. It is the expectation of LYS that players attend practices, skills sessions and games. The more commitment the players bring to their team, the better the experience will be for all.
