EXPANDED YOUTH DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM 

We will continue to offer our two Youth Development Programs.  The first session will run throughout May with the second session kicking off in mid - June and running through to July.   Both sessions will focus on fun, skill-building activities and games for any 4 to 9-year-old player.  We will continue to divide this program into 2 subgroups: our Lil' Kickers program for 4 to 6 year-old players and our Juniors Program, aimed at the 7 to 9 -year-old set.  

These programs have been the foundation of Gitchi Gummi Soccer Club for the past two decades. Often times we’ve been told that this was the highlight of a child’s summer. We make learning fun, which builds passion for the game. 

Greg Cane, a founder of Gitchi Gummi Soccer Club back in 1991 and UMD Women's Soccer head coach, leads the player development program.  His wife, Patti Cane, has been involved with our younger soccer enthusiasts in the Lil' Kickers program now for 19+ years.  She does a fantastic job with the little ones as she uses her preschool-director background to encourage, motivate, and engage our future stars.

Each group gets 8 total sessions held at Kenny Harkins Field (formerly Saints Field) on the College of St. Scholastica campus. The Lil' Kickers take the field from 5:15 to 6:15 and Juniors follow from 6:30 to 7:30. 

The fee for these developmental programs will be $100.
