1st Grade

Players in our 1st grade program will be trained by professional trainers assisted by parent-coaches this season. The goal is for our players to continue learning and understanding the game of soccer. Our parent-coaches will take the lead and run the games, using the knowledge they gained from our Coaches Clinics.
