Free U6/U8 Module at Winter GBM

STYSA will conduct a U6/U8 Module for coaches on Saturday, Feb. 13th at the Winter GBM. The five hour course will take place at the Inn of The Hills located at 1001 Junction Hwy in Kerrville, Texas 78028. The hours are TBA.

The U6/U8 Youth Module is designed to provide the most current and advanced information for the growth and development of the U6 through U8 youth player. The ultimate goal is to provide coaches with the tools to ’unlock the game within each child’ and reach his or her full soccer potential. The module will show coaches developmentally appropriate activities for children and the use of games as a vehicle to learning. 

 
Coaches may register for the course via email by sending their completed application to almam@stxsoccer.org. Coaches should plan to participate in activities during the afternoon session. There is no fee for the course. Registration is limited and is on a first come first serve basis.
