Instructional Information

What is Instructional Soccer?

Instructional soccer is meant to be an introduction to the sport of soccer. It is meant to teach the basics and develop those skills with each passing season.

U4, U5 and U6 Philosophies:

Fun - first and foremost!
Provide positive encouragement to your child and other team members.
During practice, the coaches will teach basic ball control skills through drills that encourage players to touch and move the ball with only their feet.
During “games”, we don’t worry about whether our team wins or loses, the focus will be on proper skills, teamwork and good effort.
Games will be a 3v3 format, which helps to encourage all of the above.

Every effort is made to maintain small teams at the instructional level to allow children to participant and get the most of the instructional experience. Teams will have 6 team members. Each week, the players will learn new skills and be able to put those skills into practice with small sided games.

What You Need To Know...

Here is what you will need every Sunday:

Team shirt (provided by SISA first week)
Shorts, sweats or loose pants
Cleats (no metal), turf shoes or sneakers
Shin guards are required
Small, #3 size soccer ball with your child's name on it
It is also encouraged that parents bring their child's water bottle with them to each session.

If there is rain or inclement weather, Iredell County makes the decision on field usage. Announcements will be made on this site as well as by your child's coach. Please make sure that you have your current information on file with your child's coach.

How SISA Runs It's Programs...

We rely on parents to volunteer to help run the Instructional Program. All coaches are parent volunteers. Prior to each season, coaches will be given a drill booklet which is devised by the Director of Coaching.

If you are interested in coaching or volunteering with the Instructional Program, please contact Director of Coaching Fil Wilkinson at filwilkinson.sisa@gmail.com or Scott Montgomery, Instructional Program Coordinator at sisainstructional@gmail.com
