Class Description:  This will be an intermediate soccer class.  Beginners are welcome but students will improve on a variety of skills from trapping, passing, shooting, game strategy, etc. . . We will work on the physical aspects of playing soccer as well as practice teamwork and diagnosing positions to their ability.  We will do a variety of drills and scrimmages to hone their soccer skills.

Teacher Information: Soccer Bio:  I grew up playing soccer in elementary and High School.  Play in an adult league at present for the last 4 years.  I have coached son's soccer team for the last 2 years for HOT soccer.

Additional_Comments: I am hoping that kids will enjoy learning soccer and improving their skills.  My hope is to give them an extended time of practicing throughout the year so that when they choose to play soccer for a league they are prepared and ready to help their team.  I will make it competitive but enjoyable for the kids and I believe they will learn a lot of things that will practically help them on their respective teams if they so choose to join a league!
