The Jamboree Program is one in which our youngest players are introduced to the game of soccer under the leadership of a "Master Coach", within their own team and coach framework. Region 889's Master Coach, Nathan White, has been professionally trained in the UK and is a licensed professional coach for children. Specifically, the Master Coach gathers with teams to introduce the players to the age-appropriate skills they should learn at this age; i.e., dribbling, shooting, throw-ins, etc.
The teams gather together as a unit and Coach White introduces skills to the team coaches, who, in turn, work with their teams to help the players learn important basics of soccer. This training session lasts approximately 30-40 minutes. Afterward, your teams move into the fields and play their traditional games, 3V3.
Our Jamboree Program is designed to run five to six weeks...after which, traditional games only will be held for the remainder of the season.
Why Jamboree?
Every decision, every rule, and every program within AYSO has "what's good for kids" as its basis. Every girl and boy stepping on a soccer field for the first time can have fun. AYSO's "child-first" approach also makes it one of the finest player development programs.
With children’s natural joy in running and kicking, Jamboree Soccer builds on these two skills and adds in techniques to control the ball and work as a team.
