In Jamboree, children get to play soccer in an age-specific program, and you, the parents, get to participate with them.
In Jamboree, we have Professional Trainers that help parents, help their children learn soccer skills like kicking, dribbling, teamwork, and listening by using fun skills-based games followed by small sided scrimmages.
This is done in a low-pressure setting. Jamboree is about exposing children to soccer, not grooming them for college scholarships.
Parents also help when their child is not playing well with others, or if play must pause for injury, confusion, or to watch a flock or birds fly by. Parents aid the Trainers by quickly directing attention back to the group.
In Jamboree, goals are not counted to determine who wins - every player is a winner. Young players need to get a feel for the ball and the field, so even though there are adults all around and many opportunities to offer instruction, the emphasis is on fun and play. It’s a different kind of game in 5U, but the children still wear jerseys or pinnies, cleats and shin guards. Best of all, they find out that soccer is something they LIKE to do!
