Atlanta Fire United’s One-Day Program
We understand that many parents have very busy schedules and that’s why we have created a recreational, development-oriented program that is always on Saturdays at the same time so that you can schedule other activities for your child and family. These are super fun soccer-related training sessions led by Atlanta Fire United staff soccer coaches.
Objective:
Coaches will use fun activities to work on the technical fundamentals of the game while incorporating skills to improve the physical development of young children. Below you can find the curriculum topics we will focus on. In each session, we will incorporate these skills at the beginning of the session, and end in a game- like atmosphere. The children learn from playing!

*NEW THIS YEAR FOR THE THREE YEAR OLD PLAYERS-
The 3 year old players will participate in a Parent & Player format- One parent per player will be able to participate in the activities being led by a staff coach. The coach will model the skill and the players (with help & support from a parent) can imitate the staff- and everyone gets to join in on the fun!
