Soccer
Info:
Welcome to the Mary Woodward Elementary Fall After-School Soccer Program!
We’re excited to bring another fun and engaging season of soccer with West Coast Soccer Academy (WCSA)! Our programs are designed to build skills, confidence, teamwork, and resilience while making sure every child has fun on the field.
📅 Program Details:
The program runs on Mondays after school from 2:20–3:30 PM with a total of 9 sessions. Dates are September 29; October 6, 13, 20, and 27; November 3 and 17; and December 1 and 8. There will be no class on November 10 and no class on November 24.
This program is open to K–5th grade students. All players will be walked directly from their classrooms to the soccer field, where our 2–3 staff coaches will lead each session. Pick-up is at the field promptly at 3:30 PM.
To ensure age-appropriate learning, students will be grouped into K–2nd and 3rd–5th grade groups, where they’ll receive personalized coaching and instruction.
âš½ Skills We Focus On:
For K–2nd graders, the focus will be on ball control and dribbling basics, teamwork and sharing the ball, practicing accurate and powerful shots, and listening skills to build teamwork and confidence.
For 3rd–5th graders, we’ll emphasize dribbling and passing to improve technique, teamwork and communication on the field, shooting with form, accuracy, and strength, focus and following directions, and game awareness through learning positions and simple team strategy.

At WCSA, our coaching style is teacher-organized and student-centered, encouraging and inclusive, and focused on fun over competition. Soccer is more than just a sport—it’s a way to grow skills for both the game and for life.
🌦 Weather Policy:
We play rain or shine unless it is both rainy and 40 degrees or below. Please make sure players come dressed in weather-appropriate clothing.
