Dinomites U-5: (PreK) This program is designed to provide an age appropriate family soccer
experience for 4 year olds. This age specific, story based approach, is built
around the introduction and development of the core skills required to play the
game. Through fun games and activities the program develops balance, running
jumping, turning, hand eye coordination and spatial awareness, all essential to
allow the young player to eventually learn and enjoy the game. Based around
the adventures of Dino and his sister Deana, all of the learning and coaching
points are integrated into the games, stories and play. The program has also
been developed to support active parent participation. This approach
fosters a memorable experience for the whole family and encourages support for
the volunteer coach. The program runs every Saturday from 9:00am to 10:30am
through out the spring and fall season.
Dinomites U-6: (Kindergarden) Introduction to 3 v 3 format. This program is a continuation of the U-5

to provide structure and instruction on the field. Recreational Soccer teams have
players with diverse abilities from beginner to experienced. The purpose of
recreational soccer is to provide a fun environment for players of all abilities to learn
and play. To ensure that all players have an enjoyable experience playing soccer,
appropriate conduct is expected of all players, volunteers and spectators. Please
read the Conduct Rules and Regulations below for details. Opportunities for
competitive play may be available on a travel team. If you are interested in trying out
for a travel team, please contact us.
Conduct Rules and Regulations: EHSC, in accordance with CJSA Rules and Regulations, Section 1011: "promotes good sportsmanship by any member of CJSA, officials, leagues, clubs, teams, players, parents, spectators, coaches, administrators and referees, and expects the support of players and officials in a positive manner. Profanity, racial or sexist comments, or other intimidating comments or actions directed at officials, players, coaches, team representatives, or spectators will not be tolerated and are grounds for removal from the site of the competition and for disciplinary action."
To promote good sportsmanship and proper sideline conduct by spectators, please remember
the following:
* Please encourage the children with applause and positive comments. No negative
comments from players or spectators.
* Do not yell loudly or shout excessively. This is distracting to the players and disruptive to
the people around you.
* Negative comments towards referees will not be tolerated. Any problems should be
discussed with a director only. Please remember that this is an instructional program and the
priorities of the referees for the children are safety and fair play.
