WHY PLAY 3V3?
With fewer players on the field, each player has more opportunities to touch the ball, using and improving their soccer skills. Small-sided games can develop your player's decision-making, technical attributes, tactical knowledge and physical conditioning through functional movements. Small-sided soccer is FUN and allows more opportunities to score. Scoring can increase self-esteem, character development and team chemistry!
Here are some of the benefits of playing 3v3:
More touches on the ball
Increased number of game related decision-making opportunities
Constant transition from attacking to defensive situations
Increased 1 vs. 1 encounters in both attacking and defending situations
Increased opportunities to utilize specific ball skills
Increased opportunity to be in a goal scoring position
Increased opportunities to be in a 2 vs. 1 attacking and defending situation.

I addressed the three common questions regarding event for our Soccer Program.
Some of our kids want to play, however our coach is unavailable this weekend.
We can help you get set, we have two free clinic days and 3v3 format is a fast paced game so coaches are there to help with substitution and getting the kids playing. We will help. During registration list the kids you want together and we will place them.
My kid wants to play but he doesn't know anyone else.
Register as a free agent and we will find them a team to play on and work on ensuring they have a coach come game day.
I don't want to spend the entire weekend at the Y Soccer Field.
