MINI WORLD CUP sPRING LEAGUE ⚽


LEAGUE OVERVIEW 


Who Can Sign Up: Kindergarten - 2nd graders  

Program Overview 

The Mini World Cup (MWC) soccer program is designed for students that are in kindergarten to second grade. This program's mission is to provide a positive soccer experience for each player. To accomplish our mission, MWC has adopted a philosophy that puts athletes first and winning second. At this age group winning is not an objective and we value learning over winning. MWC Spring League is a program where players will be introduced to their first team experience and the fundamentals: dribbling, ball control, passing, attacking, and defending. Teams will be coed and formed by school/area of attendance.  

MWC VOLUNTEER COACHES NEEDED

This program CANNOT run without parent volunteers. Registration has increased over the years with over 200 players signing up last fall. This season we anticipate that we will need 20-30 volunteer coaches to each lead a team through 1 practice per week and games on Saturdays. Volunteer coaches are eligible to have their child’s participation fee reimbursed. To sign up to be a volunteer coach please use the link below.
