Tiny Tot will have its own private fenced area, just west of the DSA concession stand in Winter Park (just south of the sand volleyball courts). There will be 10 (or so) different activities for the kids. Each focuses on a very basic soccer skill (passing, dribbling, jumping, etc). We have different 'cartoon' type characters, each one teaching a different activity (Sponge Bob tells you to dribble around the plankton; Kermit the Frog has you hop from one lily pad to another; Spiderman instructs you to pass the ball into his web). Kids will do each with the assistance of their parent.

A “tiny tot supervisor” will be in the area, but will not do formal “coaching”. Soccer volunteers will help in the area to help kids get familiar with the stations. As of now, the Tiny Tot program is slated to be active on all game days (if the program grows like we think that it will, we could conceivably open other dates/times for the program). There are no scheduled practices or games; it is simply soccer related activities for our youngest children, not yet old enough for the DSA leagues.

We are really excited about the program and hope (think) that it is going to be a big hit. For their fee, each child will get a jersey, socks, instructional DVD’s, and a soccer ball with their registration - as well as access to the Tiny Tot area every Saturday during soccer season (August through October).
