4v4 Soccer League For Boys and Girls Of All Skill Levels

Nexus FC Professional Youth Academy is excited to announce a one of a kind 4v4 developmental "pick-up" style small-sided matches for boys and girls of all skill levels looking to improve their skills and have fun playing the beautiful game.

Overview:

Red Oak Rec Program 4 v 4 developmental league divides a full-size field into four smaller fields and plays three 20 minute matches simultaneously among 6-10 teams two times a week for 6 to 8 weeks. This provides players with constant, on the ball, game-type situations, and adds up to 10 times the amount of ball touches normally found in a standard recreational game or training session.

Small-sided games allow for more playing time, players learn to control the ball better with this format and have more success in attempting to dribble, pass and shoot. The four-player teams also allow for the fundamental “diamond shape” essential to teaching young players depth and width in the game of soccer.

Teams will be randomly selected each matchday by trainers. Matches will be held during the week on Tuesdays and Thursdays. W9 Soccer Certified trainers will facilitate and govern all matches. We offer three seasons
