The U-5 Program is separate from the U-6, as there are significant social, emotional and physiological differences between U5 and U-6 players.
The Jamboree One with One format is the AYSO U-5 program and must be followed.
The U-5 program consists of one day per week of the Jamboree One with One program for 6 weeks.
Jamboree One with One is the combination of two different formats that, put together, provides the best possible introduction to soccer for our youngest players. In AYSO soccer, a jamboree means that groups are formed on a weekly basis depending on how many players attend a given session. One with One refers to the concept that each player will have a parent (or other adult) working with them on the field.
An AYSO Certified Leader will lead each session. The leader will introduce a game/activity that will apply to a certain skill or part of the game. The leader will explain and demonstrate to help parents and players understand each activity. Each pair (player/parent) will then attempt the activity while the leader circulates between pairs providing specific help or suggestions so that the activities are performed as intended.
Each Jamboree session will end with a 20 minute short-sided game. The most important allowing the players to play without coaching or teaching. This experience is designed to expose them to soccer, not to begin developing them. The two objectives of this program are to allow the players to enjoy the activities, and let the game be the teacher.
