Mini-Soccer (U8-U10)

Hollandia offers opportunities for Under 8 and Under 10 players. Our programs focus heavily on the acquisition of fundamental technical skill, the key element required for success in later soccer years.

To learn more, please read our U8/U10 introductory document: Hollandia - U8-U10 Development Program

Players are not tiered because it has been scientifically proven that early selection and elimination processes are detrimental to long term development. In the Under 10 age group, more teams are typically accommodated. These teams participate in the ‘D-League’ rather than in the Community Association League. This league focuses more on development than winning.

Hollandia programs differ from most Community Association programs in that more training opportunities are provided. In addition, because the programming is incremental and progressive, players are required to commit to full attendance. Hollandia Mini-Soccer programs are definitely not for parents who are driven by game results, because they are player-centric programs, based on age appropriate technique and physical literacy training.
