4U-8U DISCOVERY

Developmental soccer is the foundational phase of our pathway. It introduces 4U-8U players to soccer with a view to igniting a lifelong love of the game. We foster a positive environment that keeps enjoyment front and center while players learn. We take a holistic approach to development and recognize our responsibility to develop the person first, and then the player. Coach to player ratio is kept small to maximize individual interaction.

Discovery 7U-8U

The WDMSC Discovery 7U-8U program is for players born between 1/1/2014 and 12/31/2015. The players experience weekly practices followed by a weekend game. Volunteer coaches are supported by professional staff in fostering a positive learning environment throughout both practice and games. Enjoyment remains front and center as players develop their technical proficiency and fundamental decision making. Games are refereed by a certified youth referee and remain very relaxed and positive. All children play equal time.

This age group plays 4v4 with no goalkeeper (maximum of 8 on each team roster). Players play in a basic league schedule, but no league standings or results are recorded. Players are encouraged to continue participating in a variety of additional activities to help enhance the full range of basic movement skills and physical literacy.
