Ages
U8 - 1st & 2nd Grade
U10 - 3rd & 4th Grade
U12 - 5th & 6th Grade
Purpose
For children that are committed to improving their technical skills, RYS is working with Challenger to offer age specific technical skills clinics. These are above and beyond regularly scheduled practices for the U8, U10 and U12 age groups, and will focus soley on technical development. We will also be offering goalie sessions. There are additional costs associated with these clinics, but RYS uses money raised through our previous fundraising efforts to keep these costs low.
Coaches
These sessions are facilitated by a professional trainer from Challenger Sports.
Practice Format
The Challenger Coach will work with each kid individually during these sessions, and will develop a child-specific technical development program that the child is expected to work on at home between sessions.
Technical Session Days, Times & Locations
U8 Technical Skills Sessions - Monday or Tuesday from 4:30pm to 5:15 pm at the Community Center (immediately prior to U8 practices)

Equipment
