Program Overview
Our Soccer Cubs Program is designed to instill in our youngest players a sense of enthusiasm, self-confidence, good sportsmanship, and teamwork by emphasizing the game's basic fundamentals. Boys and girls currently enrolled in Pre-K or Kindergarten (or age 4 by August 31, 2026) are eligible.
Each week's session includes a skills session led by Mayfield Heights Boys and Girls Varsity players, with instruction from Cubs Director - Coach Emily, followed by a short guided scrimmage on a smaller field using pop-up goals without goalies. Teams rotate through several skill stations covering the foundations of organized soccer: dribbling, passing, trapping, and shooting.
Players are placed onto a team, take part in a combined practice session, then break back into their teams for a scrimmage on an age-appropriate field.
