Is your little one ready to burn off some energy, make new friends, and learn to play soccer? We are thrilled to announce the launch of the Boulder Maccabees Youth Soccer League, a program designed specifically for 4 and 5-year-olds.
Our league provides a fun, supportive, and developmentally appropriate environment where children can discover the fundamentals of soccer while building essential life skills.
At this age, it’s not about the scoreboard; it’s about the experience. Our curriculum is built around five core pillars:
- Motor Skill Development: Improving coordination and balance through play.
- Teamwork & Sportsmanship: Learning how to play together and cheer each other on.
- Listening Skills: Practicing how to follow directions from coaches.
- Confidence Building: Encouraging every child to try their best and celebrate small wins.
- Pure Fun: Ensuring every session ends with a smile!
We’ve divided our league into four exciting squads that will face off in friendly matches each week:
- Simcha Strikers
- Mini Mitzvahs
- Chai 5’s
- Mile-High Menches
To help our young athletes progress, each week features a specific "Skill of the Day" that we’ll practice before the big game: dribbling with control, stopping the ball, passing to a partner, shooting on goal, basic defensive positioning, and understanding boundaries and teamwork.
We know life is busy! This league is part of our extended after-school care. Our staff will pick up students directly from their classrooms and transport them to the soccer field, making the transition seamless for parents.
A Note to Parents: You are more than welcome to attend the entire session! If you're coming from work, we’d love to have you join us at 4:30 PM each week to cheer on your athlete during the scrimmage.
