Super 4's was born out of the vision to create a better format for young players to actively develop and showcase their skills in a competitive setting. Designed for boys and girls aged 5-9, this structured, small-sided competition emphasizes improving the core abilities essential for excelling in soccer. Unlike traditional 7-a-side football, the Super 4’s format guarantees more touches on the ball, increased opportunities for attacking and defending in 1v1 situations, and a greater number of goalscoring moments. By simplifying the game and focusing on development, the format eliminates the complexities of larger games, providing a more engaging and skill-enhancing experience. Participating in this pre and offseason program not only helps young players refine their abilities but also ensures they can carry these learnings into their regular outdoor games, setting them up for continued growth and success.
