What Parents Are Saying

“I loved everything about this Nanosoccer, my son has greatly improved, friendly, organized, informative. We will sign up every year! Thank you for doing this.” – Tracy G

“Having my kids get a better grasp of the mechanics of the game: position, passing, strategy. Not just a pack running aimlessly. And the technique of nano soccer (smaller team, smaller field, more time actually with the ball playing) was very beneficial for both my kids and built their confidence.”. – AYSO Burbank Parent Survey Response, Spring 2024

“The coaches are incredibly kid friendly. Our child likes his coach and the coaches seem to genuinely like children” – Beau D.

“Lots of play time for each kid and a very positive approach to coaching — really kept my kid (who is brand new to soccer) very enthusiastic and encouraged!” – Collette M.

Why Choose the Nanosoccer Format? The Nanosoccer format is a cornerstone of our Spring Development League, offering a unique approach to youth soccer that prioritizes skill development, player engagement, and enjoyment of the game. This innovative format is designed to meet the developmental needs of young athletes in a fun, supportive environment. Here's why the Nanosoccer format is beneficial for your child: Enhanced Skill Development: More Touches on the Ball: The smaller team sizes and field dimensions ensure that each player gets more opportunities to touch the ball, fostering better ball control and individual skill development. Focused Attention: With fewer players on the field, coaches can provide more personalized feedback and instruction, helping each player improve their technique and understanding of the game.
