Wave Soccer Club is thrilled to announce the launch of Wave Juniors, a new program for our youngest soccer players! This program is for children aged 4 (birth year 2021) to 7 (birth year 2018) years old and is designed to foster a love of the game, make new friends in the community, and prepare players with a solid base of soccer skills, enabling them to transition to competitive soccer opportunities at 8U.
Wave Juniors is a 6-week program that offers flexible, seasonal scheduling throughout the year. Qassim Ilmi, Director of Coaching for Wave Soccer Club, feels strongly that “players at this age are exploring many different sports, and we want to encourage those options. For that reason, we are offering three different sessions of soccer: Fall, Winter, and Summer. This gives parents and guardians the opportunity to determine what sessions best align with their schedules and their child’s needs”.
Registration is now open for the 2024 Summer Session running from July 23rd through August 29th at George Ohmann Park in Eagan. Sessions will take place on Tuesday & Thursday evenings from 5:30pm-6:30pm and will be led by paid, professional trainers with the help of volunteer parent assistant coaches. Each session will include 20 minutes of training and skills work followed by 40 minutes of game play. The program cost is $80 per 6-week session and includes a jersey – players need to provide their own size 3 soccer ball, shin guards, and cleats.
