Team Ohio FC Juniors
What is Team Ohio FC Juniors?
Team Ohio FC Juniors is designed as a fun introduction to soccer for boys and girls ages 6-9. The CORRECT techniques of passing, dribbling, shooting, heading, receiving, tackling, and goalkeeping will be taught. All sessions will also include playing small-sided games with instruction on some basic habits of the game. Many players who started in this program format now play on elite teams in the Team Ohio FC club. This program is designed as a supplement to regular team soccer, not as a replacement. We feel that teaching young players correct technique FROM THE START helps them find it more easy to progress to more advanced skills as they get older.
