C3 Soccer Format
Welcome to C3 Sports General Soccer information. Thanks for checking us out!
We offer a complete sports experience for the family and your athlete, Pre-K through 8th grade. Our format develops athletes from the early stages of learning and loving the game of soccer through a more competitive, strategy driven experience as they grow older.
What is Athlete Acceleration and why do we use it?
Our Athlete Acceleration program is designed to grow as your athlete grows preparing them in the skills needed to participate at the middle school level and beyond. We take an intentional different approach to youth soccer. Starting with small sided games and accelerating to larger fields as our athletes grow and mature in the game without getting too big to diminish individual skills. This approach has many benefits:
​
Smaller fields
-
Better technical development
-
Less players on a field = better tactical development
-
Better physical efficiency as the game is played
-
More skill development
Smaller team size

More touches on the ball
