Mini Community (U7-U11)
HCU Mini Community (U7-U11)
What is HCU Mini Community?
Our HCU Mini Community program is the Foundation of HCU!
The program is for players born in 2012 - 2017 who want to enjoy recreational level soccer in their community. It is here where players experience the beginning of lifelong friendships, and develop their love of the beautiful game.
The Mini Community program is designed to introduce players to soccer skills, fair play, and sportsmanship in a fun atmosphere full of games and activities, as well as physical literacy competencies that will improve our players' athleticism.
The sessions will be led by HCU staff coaches who have their Community Courses and/or C License. We strive to be best in class in this area! We are also asking for parent coaches to assist at the sessions (If you are interested in coaching, please email shinji@hcusoccer.ca).
Our HCU Mini Community program is aligned with Canadian Association of Physical Literacy, CSA Active Start models, as well as LTAD Model (Long Term Athletic Development)
