Developmental Recreational Soccer Program
Give your kids the best possible start in the game - a new concept in children's soccer programs in Ottawa.
Our core principles will be adapted to each age level to give an unrivaled start in the game for both beginners and kids with a little experience. Although development will be the goal, we'll never lose sight of the importance of fun in every session. The more fun the kids are having, the more they are engaged and the more engaged they are the more they learn. Each session combines physical literacy, practice and team games.
For the WEE COPAS age group (2017,18 & 19 births), we have a parent/child portion to the program. We have found that the kids working directly with a parent under the instruction of a coach at that age group helps to accelerate their development and the kids get more out of the program. A parent (or guardian) will be on the field with each participant during the physical literacy and practice sections of each session. It won't take any specialist coaching knowledge, our head coach will be instructing the parents and the kids, but it will help to keep the little ones focused and more able to pick it up when they have a familiar face working with them. If you have any questions about this aspect of the Wee Copas program, email us at admin@lilsambassoccer.com
In the JABULANIS age group (2015 & 16 births), the kids are participating without their parents, working closely in small groups with our coaches across a series of "stations" each week. Each station presents them with a different challenge to take on and a different skill to master
Our TANGOS development programs (2013 & 14 births) are developmental programs more focused on working on skills with our coaches. More of these sessions are devoted to small-sided games mixed in with drills to continue the kids' development as they get older.
Our final age group, the AZTECAS (2011 & 12 births) focuses almost entirely on trailing within small-sided games, developing and being coached as they play. Aztecas is only offered at 9:00am on Saturdays during the summer season.
