6th Grade Football — Building Skills Through Play!

This is where the game really starts to come alive.

Our 6th grade program is designed for players who are ready to take the next step — learning through fun games, small-sided matches and lots of time on the ball. It’s still all about enjoyment, but now we start introducing more game understanding, teamwork and decision-making.

Sessions are packed with fun activities that develop dribbling, passing, shooting and confidence. We use plenty of 1v1 and 2v2 challenges, plus small-sided games that help players learn naturally through play. The focus is simple — lots of touches, lots of involvement, and lots of smiles.

Open to children in 6th grade.
