Kindergarten

First Day Arrival

• On the first day of the season , families will be directed to the check-in area. At check-in, they will receive clear information about their assigned volunteer coach, field location, and jersey pickup. The help desk offers complimentary coffee and bagels for parents to enjoy.
• Uniforms will be distributed to the players by MSI coaches.

On-the-field experience

• Players will spend 20 minutes playing exciting games where they’ll get plenty of plenty of touches on the ball, and shots on goal, as well as learn to keep the ball away.
• After the warm-up games, players will be divided into 4 small squads of 2 or 3 players and placed on multiple small soccer fields where they play against squads from other teams. A volunteer coach assists an MSI coach in managing each game. The coaches constantly roll soccer balls onto the field. Coaches make sure each player gets lots of touches, makes their own decisions, and scores goals so each player has a great time. 

Players will receive a jersey upon the arrival of the first session, and they will wear that jersey for the fall season. All kindergartners should wear proper soccer attire, which includes:

• Shin guards
• Cleats (or regular tennis shoes)

Each player should bring:

• A size 3 soccer ball
• Water bottle
• And a great big smile on their face!
