Junior Falcons
VAYSA the YMCA is excited to continue their very successful program for children between the ages of 3
through 5 years old. This program will introduce this age group to the sport of soccer in a fun, positive
environment. Instead of playing competitive matches, the classes will focus on 1v1, 2v2, 3v3 and small sided
games. It will also focus on basic foot skills, dribbling, passing, shooting. Classes will run 30-45 minutes on
Saturday mornings, for a total of 4 weeks. We will run this program six [6] times a year.
