Jamboree

U5 Program
U-5 - Jamboree Parent with Player
Jamboree Parent with Player is the combination of two different formats that, put together, will provide the best possible introduction to soccer for our youngest players. In AYSO soccer, a jamboree means that teams are formed on a weekly basis depending on how many players attend a given session. Parent with Player refers to the concept that each player will have a parent (or other adult) working with them on the field. A “Master Coach” will lead each session. The Master Coach will introduce a game/activity that will practice a certain skill or part of the game using explanation and demonstration. Each pair (player/parent) will then attempt the activity while the Master Coach circles between pairs providing specific help or suggestions so that the activities are performed as intended. After a suitable amount of time, the Master Coach will bring the players and parents back together as a group and recap what they have done, introducing the next game/activity. Each Jamboree Parent with Player session will end with a 20 minute short-sided game. Details regarding the game are explained later. Most importantly, allow the players to play without coaching or teaching them as this experience is designed to expose them to soccer, not to begin developing them. The two goals of the program are to allow the players to enjoy the activities and to let the game be the teacher.

We are excited to bring some of our most experienced coaches to this program as our Master Coaches. In addition, we will be having parents participate as Field Coordinators to increase our ability to work with each player and parent. By having a parent work with their own child during the skills part of the session, we hope to improve the learning and development of each child as well as improve the consistency of what each player is being taught throughout the season.
We will be holding one session on a weekly basis. This session will be held:· Saturday 8:30-10:00 am. Each week, when you arrive at your session, you will be assigned to a specific field to work with a Field Coordinator with oversight from the Master Coach You will have a specific skill or two taught to you and your player and will be given time to work on that skill together. You may ask for assistance from the Field Coordinators or Master Coaches as they circulate throughout the practice area.
After a short water break, during which fields will be set up, we will hold short-sided games for the remaining time. By teaching the skills and holding games during the same session, this eliminates having a separate practice time during the week.All players will be issued a uniform. The uniform includes: shorts, jersey and socks. (Shoes and shin guards are to be provided by the player). Each week, the players are to arrive in full uniform. For safety reasons, no jewelry, hard hair clips of hair beads, every player MUST have on shin guards and be wearing appropriate footwear (cleats – without a toe-cleat or tennis shoes are considered appropriate).The Fall Season begins on Saturday, Sept. 9, 2017 . We will have ten weeks of sessions.If you have additional questions, please direct questions to the U5 Program Coordinators Ben Megel email [email protected] or Jack Rust email [email protected] are looking forward to an exciting season of soccer. We sincerely hope that our youngest players will develop a love of the game that will last a lifetime!
