General Program Information:

  
U4's play 3 v 3 with no goalkeepers 
Teams split players in 2 groups to play 2 games simultaneously.   Each team needs a minimum of 2 volunteer coaches and 1 volunteer timekeeper. 
Time slots are 45 minutes long and include 15-20 minutes of fun warm up games followed by 2 x 10 minute soccer halves with extra time allowed for transition. 
Parents not volunteering will be allowed to enjoy the games from the sidelines. 
 
Volunteer Coaches are always needed at this level 
It's fun and rewarding, and a great way to get involved!  A pre-season meeting with hands-on training will be held where you will receive a manual and information on how to set up and run drills and fun games for the whole season.  SASA also provides in-house support from our Head Coach and an end of season rebate certificate which can be used towards future registrations. 

Coach Certification Courses

Once again this season, SASA will be offering LTPD Coach Courses specific to various ages and skill levels. These 4 courses are hands on, interesting, highly recommended and require prior registration.  As a volunteer for SASA, we will cover the cost of your registration, however a refundable deposit will be taken to ensure attendance. Register early to ensure a spot - space is limited.  marjo@stalbertsoccer.com


A Criminal Records Check is required for all coaches
Please pick up your volunteer letter of introduction when you sign up at registration.
