Overland Youth Soccer Program

Join us for an exciting four-week soccer ball skills program brought to you by the City of Overland and CORE Soccer Training! Led by former pro soccer player and coach Jamie Swanner, these fun classes are perfect for kids aged 2 to 14. We focus on three different skill levels tailored to age, ability, and learning style, ensuring everyone can enjoy and improve their skills in a friendly, supportive environment.

Playtime (Ages 2-3yrs.) This is a Parent/Child participation program. We will have many activities that directly relate to motor skill development. Each class will consist of FUN interactive games, with the use of many different props. "First Touch Interactive Story Telling" will help the little ones understand Participation, Sportsmanship, Sharing and Team concepts along with the basic skills of soccer. Our main goal with this Program is to offer a FUNDAMENTAL approach using exercise and Parent/Child bonding time as our main focus. Each class is 45 minutes long, held indoors at Overland Community on Saturdays from 9 - 9:45 am. Sessions run on these dates: Jan 10-31, Feb 14-Mar 14 (skip 3/7), and Mar 28-Apr 25 (skip 4/4). Registration closes the Monday before each session starts.

First Touch (4-5 yrs.) This is a true introduction to soccer with our main focus to be on balance, coordination and the understanding of how the body moves. We will cover the basic Ball Skills needed to play the game of soccer with the emphasis on the individual player's development; (1 v 1 moves, passing, receiving, dribbling and finishing). During our instruction of each skill, we will be introducing many Fun games that make the learning process more exciting and challenging for each participant. Each class is 45 minutes long, held indoors at Overland Community on Saturdays from 9 - 9:45 am. Sessions run on these dates: Jan 10-31, Feb 14-Mar 14 (skip 3/7), and Mar 28-Apr 25 (skip 4/4).

Ball Skills (6-14yrs.) The Field Player program has four stages of development; Ball Mastery/Dribbling, Passing/Receiving, Attacking/Defending, & Striking/Finishing. Each session the staff will focus on, increasing body awareness, self-efficacy, technical proficiency, and tactical understanding, thus improving the overall success of the player.
