Welcome
to
the
Tiny
Tot
2011
'If
you can
walk, you
can play!'
        
| Back with popular
demand... For the 5th consecutive year, with great success,Tiny Tot Soccer comes to
Danville Soccer Association for the fall 2011 season.
Tiny Tot's philosophy is: 'If you can walk, you can
play!’ Even if it is only a step or two. Tiny tot is a
parent-child activity and is very low impact, no
knowledge needed to participate. The parent-child “team”
is a good way to get parents involved early in their
child’s sports life. And, the parents develop a certain
knowledge and skill as well! We will have instructional
DVD’s for each participating family to help the learning
process.
Any child can play. Tiny tots are those born
after August 1, 2007. That is, ages 0-4. Those
born before August 1, 2007 can play in regular DSA
leagues.

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).
