We all miss playing soccer, and we all miss the Houston Dynamo & Dash. However, just because we must stay indoors and practice social distancing, doesn’t mean we have to stop practicing soccer.

Program Overview:

• Weekly training activities consisting of Ball mastery.
• Parents are the key to success!  
• The program encourages and guides Parents to engage positively with their young child, inside the home, or out in the yard, a little bit each day (20 minutes) utilizing the ball mastery skills that are made available on this Video Skills Library page.  
• Research has shown that developing new skills- whether in sports, music or the arts –at an early age, jump-starts the cognitive development in young minds.
• When following the Soccer Starts at Home Program, there will be benefits that give your child a ‘flying start’ in the sport of soccer and the game of life!
