The ultimate focus of all WE Surf Juniors programs is to teach the love of the game! All CB Surf Juniors players ranging from age 4 to 8 will learn the building blocks of the game (technical, tactical, psychological, and physical) through play focused on individual skill development and weekly 4v4 small sided games.
Practices use small-sided games to develop individual skills with the ball and intelligence with and without the ball. Each team implements progressive practice plans developed by our CB Surf Juniors Technical Director. This provides for consistent development for all players in the program, as well as aids parents stepping into a coaching role. Practices are designed to aid the development of basic motor skills and cognitive skills through basic game play. Players work on individual ball mastery, learning to be comfortable and confident with the ball on the field.
Games are organized to provide a competitive environment each week. In accordance with U.S. Soccer’s Player Development Initiatives, games are formatted as 4v4 small-sided games with modified soccer rules to maximize player participation and engagement.
The WE Surf CB Developmental program strives to make soccer a game for the players and focus on player development and enjoyment. The program is designed to create an environment where each player has the opportunity and freedom to make their own decisions, explore their creativity, and develop their own style by providing organized training where each player has the ability to touch a ball as often as possible. Each player should not only feel confident controlling and dribbling the ball, but they must have fun and feel they are improving and competing.
Parent coach volunteers are needed and will be mentored by WE Surf Columbia Basin senior coaches and directors. All training sessions are provided and demonstrated to parent coaches each week. Volunteer coaches will have their player’s registration fee reimbursed. If interested, please identify this on your player’s registration form or email Lily Bauder, at: cbsurfjunior@ewsurfsc.com.
