Mighty Mites is for 4 and 5 years old (U6). Our young players will be playing 4v4 on a small pitch with a size 3 ball, small goals, and no goalkeeper.

Although this may not seem like ‘real’ soccer you should be content in the knowledge that this game format is best suited to a child’s developmental needs at this age.

In 4v4 the young player is getting plenty of touches of the ball, which is the best way to develop their skills. They are feeling confident and successful as it is easier to score goals, beat a player and pass to a teammate, this also breeds a love of the game, a desire to play more and a confidence to try new things. They are also learning the basic principles of the game by controlling and dribbling the ball, trying to pass to a teammate, and scoring.

• Mighty Mites is a part of the Union 10 Baldwin County Academy program but will be incorporated into the Rec/Developmental League.
• The benefit to Mighty Mites over regular Rec is our proven way to develop young players through fun and age-appropriate soccer activities. Our Academy coaching staff is made up of teachers, current college players, and U.S. Soccer licensed coaches.
