Sudbury Youth Soccer is pleased to offer several soccer program opportunities to our players each winter! The current offerings are listed below by grade levels. We want to emphasize that they are entirely optional, and do not count in any way in the player evaluation and placement process.
The winter indoor programs will be held in Sudbury at The Field House and the schedule will be published once registration opens each winter.
Mini Kickers (Pre-K):
Played indoors at the Field House (Sudbury), Mini Kickers offers players Pre-K (ages 3-5) the opportunity to play soccer and develop core motor skills while learning ball mastery, receiving, ball striking and exciting skill moves during the offseason. There will be separate boys and girls sessions. The New England Revolution Academy coaches will lead these sessions.
Skills Development Centers (Kindergarten – 8th Grades):

Futsal: 3rd – 8th Grades:
Futsal is a game played between two teams of five players on each side. One of the five players is a goalkeeper who unlike soccer/football is very active out on the field. The game of futsal is played on a hard court surface with flat lines on it like a basketball court for the boundaries. It is played with a smaller ball (futsal ball) that has less bounce than a regular soccer ball. To be great at the game of futsal you need to have great improvisation, technique, creativity, ball control and heightened awareness.
