U6 (TimBits Soccer)
TimBits Soccer is a fun introduction to the wonderful sport of soccer for young players and their parents/guardians. This is a co-ed program 2 evenings a week. Volunteer coaches will run the first 30 – 40 minutes of fun drills and games, for the final 20-30 minutes you play a game vs another TimBits team. Along with learning soccer skills and getting a bit of exercise, your child will learn about playing in a team, build self confidence and meet new friends.
