Everything About Fall 2010 Mini-Kickers

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS -

What is Mini-Kickers?
This is a Saturday only program - no mid-week practices. Each week boys and girls will spend one hour in fun soccer activities taught by certified coaches. There are no set teams, so kids can play side-by-side with their friends. Each session will end with a real soccer match on a small field. There are no referees, so parents will stay to cheer on their player.

What are the Age Requirements?
A Mini-Kicker is any boy or girl born AFTER 7/31/2005 . There is NO MINIMUM AGE requirement. We have many players just over 3 years old. Our younger players have had a great time, but kids sometimes collide. Parents need to be aware that other kids sharing the field may be five.

Dates / Times / Fields
The season will run for ten weeks beginning in September. The exact times and field assignments from the city are usually determined just prior to the start of the season. Our field will be here in Laguna Niguel (last year we were assigned to La Paz Sports Park). I anticipate we will run two sessions, probably 8:30 and 10:00. You may attend either session any week.

How Much does it Cost?
The Fall 2010 Mini-Kickers season cost $95 paid by check.

What about Uniforms?
Each player will receive a full uniform including jersey, shorts and socks. You MUST provide Shin Guards and a Size 3 Ball for your player.

Is there a Residency Requirement?
While most of our players live in Laguna Niguel, many live in Aliso Viejo, Dana Point, San Clemente or Mission Viejo. Laguna Niguel Youth Soccer Association welcomes kids from every city.

What is the Deadline to Sign Up?
Most players have already signed up or will do so by mail during the summer. Since there are no set teams for Mini-Kickers, we will continue to accept registrations at the field during the first two weeks of our Saturday sessions. If you sign up after July you may have to wait a few weeks into the season before you receive your uniform.

Do you need Volunteers?
YES! We need dozens of Coach-Helper volunteers. This is a simple, well organized program. We'll show you exactly what to do. To help you must attend one of our Coach-Helper meetings to be scheduled in August. Please email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
