Soccer = Fun for Far
Post Juniors!
 |
Far
Post Juniors
is a fun-packed soccer program for young children!
-
The
primary goal of the program is for the participating children to have
fun!
-
Our
secondary goal is for the children to be introduced to the world’s
most popular team sport, soccer!
|
| Far Post
Soccer Club ensures that our coaches have the right personality, demeanor
and overall understanding of how to teach soccer to children between the
ages of 4 and 6. During our
6-week session, your child will participate in a group with approximately
a 10:1 child to coach ratio. These
groups are typically co-ed and broken into age groups by year. |
 |
 |
Our staff
of soccer coaches has developed a series of fun, thematic games designed
to teach the children the very basics of soccer.
Games such as the Castle Game, Monster Truck Derby, Red Light Green
Light, Sharks & Minnows, and Vacation Time are used to teach the
children soccer in a fun-filled, safe and constructive environment. Each
1-hour class has two or three water breaks for the children (water and
snacks should be provided by the parent). Typically,
the hour is made up of some fun games with 10-15 minutes of small sided
games. |
Every
participant receives a Far Post Juniors Soccer t-shirt at the first class and
“surprises” such as soccer stickers or patches at the end of each
session. Far Post Juniors is a “must” for the young athlete!

Far
Post’s U10 Program is to Travel Teams as …
…
Kindergarten is to Elementary School!
Why?
Well, the
Far
Post U10 program introduces young athletes to the travel team
experience ~ from regular indoor training sessions to the outdoor season,
complete with opportunities for league and tournament play.
Like kindergarteners, Far Post’s U10 boys and girls receive special
mentoring and nurturing from coaches whose primary goal is to foster the love of
soccer in young players! The
Jamboree weekends for example, provide great match experience and the kids have
loads of fun! And, when the U10
players ask their coach the game score, the typical response is "0-0!"
For more information,
visit the
U10 Travel
Team page on the Far Post Website. You’ll
see that U10s are truly special at Far Post. If you have or know of an interested U10 aged player (born after
8/1/1995), tryouts are Sunday, September 11 & 18 at 9 a.m. for the girls,
and 10 a.m. for the boys. Both
sessions are at Farrell
Park, off Swift Street, South
Burlington. For further information, contact
Todd Kingsbury at
todd@farpostsoccerclub.com
or 863-8161.
