The Mini Warriors program is targeted to players ages 5 to 6 years. Research has shown that a player that is just starting out needs to immediately experience the fun aspect of the game. Therefore, the Mini Warriors program focuses on teaching soccer fundamentals in a fun-based play environment. The program is tailored to the unique characteristics of players at this age. Registration for the 2024 Spring Clinics are OPEN!
