 Skills Development   Benefits for Kids:

In the realm of nurturing young athletes, four foundational proficiencies demand attention: ball control through dribbling, precision in passing, the finesse of kicking, and the artistry of shooting. Mastery of these skills is an evolving process contingent upon the developmental stage of the child.

• Pre-School Kids Learning Soccer: Kids above the age of 2 can start truly learning how to play soccer. Ideally, they will need a size 3 ball with 12 ounces of weight. The circumference of the ball should be approximately 22 inches. You can ask any sports store rep, and they can recommend a preschool soccer ball for your 2-5-year-old kid. In addition to the ball, you’ll also need a soccer net, and they sell official children’s soccer nets that you can buy. In terms of skill building at the preschool age, every kid will be tempted to kick, but it’s important to stress dribbling at first. 
• You can demonstrate dribbling and have your kid mimic you in the process. The next step is ball control. The most basic form of ball control involves catching a pass from another player without the ball bouncing off your legs.
• Kindergarten – Second Grade: 
• Progressing through the academic tiers to Kindergarten and Second Grade, the soccer symphony undergoes a metamorphosis. Six-year-olds step onto the pitch wielding a size 4 ball, measuring 25 inches and tipping the scales between 13 and 14 ounces. The curriculum of proficiency now includes refining the art of dribbling and the grace of soccer ball reception.
• Third to Sixth Grade-These formative years become a crucible for the cultivation of foundational skills. The focus pivots towards enhancing kicking prowess and shooting accuracy.  
• Transitioning into the scholastic echelons of Grades 5 to 7, the soccer prodigies ascend into an elite stratum. As physical prowess burgeons with muscle development, stamina amplification, and overall athletic acumen, the pivotal juncture necessitates meticulous training and disciplined practice.
• N zone sports Suncoast has had numerous players go on to play high school sports and play on top-level travel teams.

 League Rules for Enjoyable Experience

1. All players are required to wear shin guards, and these shin guards must be worn underneath their socks.
2. Cleats aren't obligatory but are strongly advised due to their ability to enhance traction and improve stopping power.
3. Sportsmanship is to be shown at all times. NO TEAM SHOULD WIN A GAME BY MORE THAN SIX (6) GOALS. If your team has a four-goal lead by half-time, then put your weakest players up on offense. Recreation should be fun for all players.
4. Referees are to be treated with respect. Do not confront or yell at a referee at any time.
5. Please, see the concussion safety policy. Implementation of "When in doubt please sit out" is always active.

 Soccer Recreational League 2024 promotes these rules, and we want to bring the "FUN" back to the game. 

Camps on the Suncoast, parents news, and Coaches Corner

You can find countless studies, articles, and research that highlight the benefits of sports. There are physical benefits—boys and girls are much less likely to become obese and more likely to live healthier lives overall. Then there are educational benefits they’ll do better in school at home, and later on in the workplace. And of course, there are the mental benefits—lower depression rates and higher self-esteem.
