Charter, and everyone plays everywhere

Session schedule

1. 1Parent pre-meetingMEETING· 10 min▾

   • This season balances high-energy fun with real skill development — they feed each other. Regular attendance is what makes both work.

   • Everyone learns both offense and defense. Nobody here owns a position — they're all soccer players.

   • Once in a while a short reading or lingo sheet comes home, so field time goes to playing instead of vocabulary.

   • Sidelines: respect the officials, cheer for effort — every kid, both teams.

   • We run Play-Practice-Play: kids jump straight into small games when they arrive. That's the method working, not a missing plan.

   Bring them in. The lines below are yours — you do not have to invent anything. Extended close-out tonight: review what we learned, celebrate effort, and wrap up on purpose.

* 5 min of slack is built in. Something will run long, and that is fine.
