North Oxnard AYSO Soccer Region 304

WELCOME TO KICKSTART!

Region 304 is excited to introduce Kickstart, a fun and active soccer experience designed especially for our youngest players.Kickstart builds on the jamboree-style energy many Region 304 families already know and expands it into a new experience for 4U, 5U, and 6U players.

Designed specifically for young children, Kickstart combines movement, play, and simple soccer activities in a fun, age-appropriate environment.

Instead of traditional teams, standings, and long practices, Kickstart is all about helping children explore the game, build confidence, and have fun.

Every session is designed to keep children active, engaged, and smiling.

How does Kickstart work?

Teams are formed each week in a Jamboree format.

A Jamboree is a fun, festival-style structure designed to introduce the sport without the pressure of competition or directive coaching. Teams are formed weekly on the day, promoting flexibility, interaction, and enjoyment over winning.

The Kickstart season is typically 6 to 8 weeks long.

Each session should run for 1 hour maximum.

Groups can be initially formed by age but with flexibility to move a child as needed based on their developmental stage.

Each Kickstart session includes:

  • A Fundamental Motor Skill Activity, i.e., skipping. &
  • A Game-Like Activity to build skill and/or game understanding, i.e., dribbling and direction.
  • 2v2 or 3v3 game, if players are capable.

Each session has a social and emotional learning theme, i.e., helping others.
