Who runs the My 1st Goal PK-G2 Indoor Soccer Program?
My 1st Goal PK Indoor Soccer Program is organized by Team Excel Soccer through the guidance of professional soccer coaches.

What do parents ask their kid before signing up for soccer?  
“Do you want to play soccer?” not “Do you want to do some soccer drills?”
Hence, they want to play soccer … we owe them a game of soccer.

Given their cognitive level, what do we need to do to keep this at a level they understand?  
We will keep it simple because they can problem solve only one problem at a time.

What common characteristic does a child of this age possess?
They are egocentric … it is all about themselves.   They are not ready to pass and make tactical decisions such as spatial awareness and team shape.  They will bunch up and that is OK.

Why 3vs3 or 4vs4 scrimmage?

The small-sided game is the real game of soccer for younger players.  It incorporates all the ingredients of a real game of soccer.  The game itself will provide the young players with endless learning opportunities.

We have a simple curriculum keeping in mind that they just want to score and  play soccer.
We want to give them that experience by keeping it simple by introducing 2 types of activities:
(1) activities that incorporate 1vs0, 1vs1 w/targets.
(2) 3vs3 or 4vs4 - let them play w/o constraints.
