Raw Dribblers (U8) – Spring 2025

ABOUT RAW DRIBBLERS

The Raw Dribblers program is for players born in 2017 and 2018. This volunteer-run program boasts an environment where players will not only develop their soccer skills, but also their social skills and physical well-being. With an emphasis on fun and learning through player, players will have the freedom to express themselves in a low-pressure environment resulting in creative problem solving.

If you are interested in volunteering in a coaching or field supervisor role, please let us know.

SESSION STRUCTURE

The Raw Dribblers program is structured to expose the player to deliberate play. This is the most child-appropriate way of developing, optimizing confidence, physicality, social interaction, and a high repetition of technical actions in realistic situations. Not only does this format address the four pillars of a player’s development, but it makes it athlete-centered to maximize fun.

The benefits of this session structure is to give players game-related learning in soccer-specific situations. They'll get increased touches on the ball, resulting in more game experiences, as well as improved technical ability including less space and time, close and controlled touches, increased speed and thought processing, and reduced physical dominance of bigger players. The high repetition of 1v1 and 2v1 situations is critical for motor development and cognitive learning phases.
