About the Program
Join United DFC’s Quiet Soccer Program, specially tailored for 5-12 year-olds who may find the busy traditional mini soccer setting overwhelming. Our program offers a quieter field and less crowded environment, ensuring a comfortable space for your child to actively participate in soccer. This session is once a week.
Enjoy one engaging weekly session filled with a diverse range of fun games, with equal emphasis on skill development and physical literacy. Our approach prioritizes skill enhancement, personal growth, and, above all, a fun and inclusive soccer experience for everyone involved. Depending on the player's comfort level, parent participation may or may not be needed, and our dedicated staff and volunteers will work with parents and players to ensure a supportive environment for all. Join us for a soccer journey tailored to your child's needs and preferences!
This program is ideal for families with children who may have challenges (neurodivergent, very shy, anxiety, etc) who do not enjoy the bustle of a busy soccer field. The Quiet Soccer Program is the only program on the field so there are considerably less distractions and much more support.
Note: this group will NOT attend Soccer by the Sea or Soccermania and is only once a week.
