Kimberly Area Soccer Association

All activities are held at Memorial Park (405 Wallace St.) in Combined Locks, WI. The park consists of green space that is marked off into eight small fields, 15 yards wide by 25 yards long with 4 foot high by 6 foot wide goals. Fields have a center line and center circle. 

The U5 program begins on the last Tuesday in April and meets each Tuesday until the last Tuesday before July 4th.
The U6 program begins on the last Thursday in April and meets each Thursday until the last Thursday before July 4th.

The U5 player groups are coed and have players turning ages 4 & 5 during the season. One of the U5 groups of 30 to 40 players will meet at 5:30 PM and another at 6:30 PM each of the listed dates. Each of these groups will be divided into four teams (Red, Gold, Blue, Green) and will be given a sponsored t-shirt of the respective color. The U6 groups consist of players turning age 6 and are grouped the same as the U5’s.

Players start arriving at 5:30, will pick out a #3 soccer ball and start kicking it around with the assistance of their parent. At 5:30 the organized activities begin, led by Hayden Knight or one of his assistants. Parents will be encouraged to stay engaged with their child to see that the skill is being performed correctly for the player’s level of understanding. Kid type games are played using the skill that has just been introduced. These activities continue until 6 to 6:05 PM, at this time the parents will divide their team colors into groups of 3’s, any extras will be subs for any of the teams. A schedule will be available pairing up the color combinations for each night of the season. Parents will be around the fields where games are played and will allow the players to play with limited interference.

The second group of U5’s will follow the same format as described above except the activity starts at 6:30 PM. The U6 program will follow the same format as described above.

For the first nights of play, games will be kept simple. Any ball going out of play will be returned to play by a “kick” with the ball staying on the ground. If a goal is scored, the players return to the center of the field around the circle facing their goal (don’t forget to substitute players), a ball is tossed into the center circle, play begins.

For this program to be successful, parents MUST be involved with their players. At least two or three parents from each team (color) must step up to help in dividing the players into groups of three and getting groups paired off on the playing fields. Parental help is needed during the games to substitute players, let the players know when the ball is out of play and how it will be put back into play.
