U6 Program

HAVING FUN WHILE LEARNING THE GAME

The Tosa Kickers U6 program was established in 2003 and has grown into one of the most popular and enjoyable programs in the area. Players, parents and coaches attend a 25-minute "practice" directly preceding their team's 3v3 game. This structure makes it very easy for parents to volunteer as coaches. The Tosa U6 program fully embraces the idea of playing at practice, not practicing to play. Training games are designed to disguise the learning and development of foundational soccer skills in the context of fun games.
