One-Evening Soccer Training Opportunity
Filed Under mlk park | Leave a Comment
Parent-Coaches for King Park Little-Kids Soccer Program
For the ninth summer KFNA is sponsoring, with the Minneapolis Park Board, a Saturday morning soccer program for 4 through 10 year olds. The program uses an array of learning games with a soccer ball to have fun, learn some basic soccer skills, and build community in the Kingfield Neighborhood. For the third year we are using parent-coaches to teach and lead the games on Saturdays from 10 to 11:15 AM, from June 19th through August 7th.
The games are great fun, not just for the kids, but the coaches as well! And on Tuesday evening, June 8th, from 7 to 8:30 PM, we have arranged for Sean McKuras, of the Bloomington Youth Soccer Club, to come to King Park’s soccer area (along 42nd Street in the baseball field #1 outfield grass) to teach, or refresh or memories of, our basic games for the summer.
You’ll get a list of the games, your very own classic black M.L. King Llittle-Kids-Soccer-Coach shirt, and, best of all, some “you-are-the-kids” training on each of the games from a great fan of these teaching games.
Call Scott Bordon (612/ 827-1868) or Michael Vanderford (612/ 827-3014) for more details.
