RECREATIONAL
ALTOONA & GRINNELL
Spring Creek offers recreational soccer programs for players aged U6-U19 in Altoona and for U8-U19 in Grinnell. Practices and games are led by volunteer coaches.
Recreational soccer provides players U6-U8 with an introduction to soccer and opportunities to learn to play on a team. All games are played locally.
At the U10 level and above, teams travel to other nearby communities for games in addition to home games.
Weekly Lesson Plans
Please use these weekly lesson plans to build both basic technical skills and tactical understanding of the game. If you are training more than once a week, repeat the same plan each night while making small adjustments as needed. This repetition will help the players better understand and execute the drills.
Ensure all training sessions keep the players moving and involved, adjusting drills accordingly to maintain engagement. Typically, you should spend 10–15 minutes per drill, adjusted for the specific age group. Please also find time to finish with a small-sided scrimmage or play against another team training that same evening.
