Program Description
Junior Gryphons Soccer School (JGSS) is for young players who want to build their soccer skills in a fun and supportive environment.
This program focuses on developing key skills related to dribbling, passing, shooting and first touch control. Players will have the opportunity to learn and play in small-sided games to help grow their confidence and game understanding. This program is recommended for players who aspire to learn, improve, and develop as a soccer player.
All sessions are facilitated by our program staff and assisted by volunteers. This program is available for players U8-U13 (born 2019-2014). Divisions are gender-specific (i.e. girls will train with/against girls, boys will train with/against boys) and players will be divided into smaller playing groups each week.
