What is Micro Soccer?
Micro Soccer
is a program based on the ideals of the U.S. Youth Soccer
Association guidelines.
DYSA Micro
Soccer provides educational and developmental training
for younger players in small-sided co-ed soccer games. The
concept behind Micro Soccer is to allow more touches on the
ball by having small teams playing on small fields. Micro
Soccer emphasizes basic soccer skills while having lots of
fun.
In 1999,
Dothan Youth Soccer Association formed DYSA Micro Soccer in order
to provide an environment for younger soccer players to
develop their skills. DYSA Micro Soccer currently has
200 players registered each spring and fall season.

Why small-sided games?
1. More touches on the ball
2. The opportunity to experience both technical and tactical
situations frequently in a game
3. Constant transition from attacking to defensive
situations
4. The opportunity to be in a goal scoring position more
often
5. Lower player to coach ratio
6. Fun!

How
old do you need to be to play Micro Soccer?

time of registration.

documentation of one of the following: food stamps, WIC, or
ACCESS.

costs to run the program (administrative, equipment, and
coordinator costs).

What equipment will
you need?
Ball: Each player should have a ball.
Shin guards: Each player must wear shin guards at all
sessions. Shinguards must be covered by socks or sweatpants.
Cleats or sneakers: Although cleats are not required,
players wearing cleats have a definite advantage over
players wearing sneakers.
On Opening Day you will receive a team shirt.

Are cleats required?
Although
cleats are not required, players wearing cleats have a
definite advantage over players wearing sneakers.

What is the refund
policy?
If a
conflict exists and you are unable to participate, you need
to inform us at least a week before Opening Day in order to
receive a full refund. We will make that space available to
someone on our waiting list.
If you
cancel after the season has begun, a partial refund may be
available. These cases will be handled on an individual
basis.
