U9 Program Descriptions

U9

Implementation: one of our most important goals is to provide an environment that keeps players engaged in the game. We want to develop athletes that are looking forward to attending every event of their team, whether it is a practice, a game, skill session, or a social event with their teammates. 

We prepare our players to be competitive by working on their technical skills, as well as game understanding and general awareness. This will help them to enjoy the time that they will spend on the pitch playing the game. All of our team coaches are provided direction and guidance on the West Hills United curriculum and game philosophy. We promote a comfortable environment where each player feels safe, valued and part of a group of players who respect each other and work together to achieve their common goals. Our coaches are prepared to run a fun and educational practice session where the players will enjoy the game, whilst simultaneously developing their soccer skills.

There are two programs for this age group the WHU House League and the CMSA Grassroots League. Players may join both if they would like to. Jersey, shorts and socks are provided and goalie academy sessions are available to all players. Here is a brief comparison of the two programs.
