The Ann Arbor YMCA Youth Soccer League is an instructional and recreational soccer league for preschoolers and kindergarteners that provides lots of touches on the ball and focuses on teamwork, skill development and fun! Coaches focus on introducing the basic fundamental skills of shooting and passing all while encouraging effort and safety. All practices and games take place at Virginia Park in Ann Arbor.
Each week, every team will practice for 30 minutes and have a 30 minute game.
Shirts/Jerseys will be provided by the Y. Shin guards, tennis shoes/soccer cleats, socks, shorts and other accessories are required of families to provide. Soccer Cleats are optional.
LEAD THE TEAM: BECOME A Y VOLUNTEER COACH!
Y youth sports teams are coached by one or two trained YMCA volunteer coaches, many of whom are parents or community members. If you like to work with children and enjoy helping them learn and succeed, we need you! If you are interested in coaching, you need to be at least 14 years of age and to attend a Y coaches workshop prior to the start of the season. Our workshops introduce volunteers to the YMCA?s character values and youth development philosophy as well as give you the practical skills. Each volunteer coached team will have guidance from a Y sports specialist for practices but will be on their own for games as the specialist will be officiating.
