This isn't how it was when I used to play ...Science, research, and decades of experience all point to the same thing: kids and adults will get active, stay active, and even reach the greatest heights of sport achievement if they do the right things at the right times.

It is 30-45 minutes of controlled chaos - think everyone with a ball playing tag and other fun games!All leaders are given training:ksysa.ca/coaching/All leaders are provided with plans to use.ksysa.ca/wp-content/uploads/sites/1307/2025/04/Soccer-Canada-U6-Active-Start-Plans.pdfPlease reach out to help on field so we can get these kids chasing balls like cats chase lasers! ...
