Micro Overview
MICRO PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The Arkansas Rush Micro program provides an opportunity for kids to play soccer in the age groups U5 through U8. Over 400 children participate in this division each Spring and Fall. The objective of Micro soccer is to foster in each child a love for soccer in a relaxed, non-competitive environment. Emphasis is on teaching the true basics (“Which way is your goal?”), FUN-damental soccer skills, sportsmanship, and team play. This program is not about winning and losing games. Players should be given as many touches on the ball as possible in both practice and games. Small-sided games, such as 3v3 for U5 and U6 and 4v4 for U7 and U8, allow this to happen. Our goal is to develop skills at all player positions and assist each child to reach their best potential.
Micro teams have one practice and one game per week at Centennial Park Soccer Complex in Conway. Games are intramural only and usually occur on Saturday mornings. Registration for the Fall season is usually held in July and August, with an 8-week season beginning in September. Registration for the Spring season is usually held in January and February with an 8-week season beginning in March. The teams are led by volunteer parent coaches who will be supervised by our Technical Director. The AR State Soccer Association requires that all Arkansas Rush volunteers must pass a background check before they are allowed to coach or work with our players.
The cost to play in the 8-week season of REC-Micro Soccer is $70. This fee includes two uniform t-shirts and end-of-season player participation medal. The fee also includes Centennial Park fees, Rush player fees and state and national registration and insurance.
