MiniWee Program Information

This program will be offered to children 3 ½ to 4 ½ years old as an introduction to soccer. Players must meet the age eligibility requirements so please refer to the Age Division chart on the Registration page. Players must be 3 ½ to 4 ½ by the Florida Youth Soccer Association's cutoff date indicated in the Age Division chart, NOT the date the MiniWee season begins. This Florida Youth Soccer Association's cutoff date covers one "academic" year--this means it is effective for two seasons (Fall and Spring of the following year). Please view the Age Divisions chart to verify player eligibility prior to coming to registration:

Note: Parents who wish to have their child play up to the Under 5 age group should read the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's) for important information before submitting a request.

A legal birth certificate is required at the time of registration. If you have not yet applied for a legal birth certificate for your child, please ensure you do so in advance in order to have it by the registration date published on our website.

Program Details:

The MiniWee program is designed to introduce soccer through fun, instructional activities. The program will be led by our Player Development Officer (PDO). Participants will be divided into teams and the program will run for five weeks. Teams in this program do not play each other; however, a scrimmage among participants on the same team may be held at the end of a session. Sessions will be held on Saturdays (only) and will last approximately 45 minutes. MiniWee teams do not have weekday practices. Teams will be on a rotating schedule so session times will change from week to week. If a participant misses a session, they may not attend another team's session. There are no make up sessions or refunds for missed sessions. The first 30 minutes of each session will be conducted by the PDO and the final 15 minutes will be led by the team's Assistant Coach. Participants must wear cleats, shin-guards and should bring water. Each participant will receive a jersey, soccer ball and medal. Team session times may begin between the hours of 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. and team session times will change from week to week as the schedule rotates. No refunds will be made for cancellations due to inclement weather, illnesses, injuries or other circumstances beyond our control. Due to the up-front costs related to facilities, fields, equipment, uniforms, administration and insurance, etc., once a player is registered, no refunds will be issued after the refund deadline published on the website and payment made for one season cannot be credited/applied to another.

MiniWee Assistant Coaching:
The commitment to be a MiniWee Assistant Coach will be minimal because the Player Development Officer (PDO) will run the first 30 minutes of every MiniWee session (which will be held on Saturdays only). The MiniWee Assistant Coach (one assigned per team) will assist the PDO during the first 30 minutes and will be left to run the last 15 minutes of the session after receiving guidance and instructions from the PDO. There will be no practices for MiniWee teams. If you sign up to be a MiniWee Assistant Coach, it is expected that you will be available every Saturday of the program. Team session times may begin between the hours of 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. and team session times will change from week to week as the schedule rotates so MiniWee Assistants must have a flexible business/personal schedule.
