Fundamentals of Soccer Class

Fundamentals of Soccer classes will be offered in 13 sites in Southern California in the winter of 2010, during January, February, and the beginning of March.  The class will be for ages 5-18, and will be $90 per student.   Click on the link to the left to get directions to the class site nearest you.  We will meet once each week for 8 consecutive weeks starting the week of January 11, 2010. 

Students will focus on learning the skills and rules of soccer, with some game playing such as 1 on 1, 2 on 2, and other smaller games for the latter half of the 8 week session to reinforce the skills learned.  Students will learn ball handling, passing, and basic soccer play with drills, some easy game playing, and will also do conditioning work each session.  Be aware, the sport of soccer involves running, so your children will be running during the classes!  There will be a wide variety of soccer drills and skill building games played, so your kids are sure to enjoy the class!

We will meet for 1 hour each session.  All the different sizes of soccer balls will be used, so children can train with a ball appropriate for their age and size.  Classes will be conducted outdoors in a park near your home, so students may need to dress warm in some areas where winter temperatures may be cooler.  Students may wear jackets and gloves for cold weather.  Students need only wear athletic clothing, tennis shoes, and bring a water bottle.  Class size will be limited and spaces given to the first enrollees with fees paid.  Feel free to email or call with questions, but please do not  register for this class unless you intend to pay for and attend the class, and please read the website in detail to see if your questions are answered herein.

Cost:   $90/student includes all equipment needed for use in class.  Payment must be received prior to starting the class.  Students will need to purchase a soccer ball for practicing with between classes.

Requirements:  Wear tennis shoes, athletic shorts or sweatpants, and a T-shirt.   Sweat pants, sweat shirts, jackets, and gloves are ok for the colder days.  Bring water.  Cleats are not required, but can be worn if they are already owned.

To sign up, go to the registration page linked to the home page.  You may contact Todd Nash at California Athletics with questions, but please register through the website.

If you are with a charter school which will pay for your class, please contact your teacher and have a PO issued immediately.  If I have a PO in hand at the start of the class, you will not be required to write a check.  Without a PO in hand at the start of class, you will need to write a check for the amount of the class which will be deposited into the bank, then refunded when I receive a PO, bill, and am paid by the charter school.  It is the parent's responsibility to ensure this is done.
