2019WINTER SEASON
JUNIOR WORLD CUP

Junior World Cup
This program is geared toward younger players, who are looking to develop their technical ball skills and broaden their soccer knowledge with the help of our professional Sharks’ coaching staff. Players of all levels are welcome to participate and learn from some of the top coaches in Southern California. Junior World Cup was founded with the goal of creating a positive learning environment, while encouraging our players to imagine what it would be like to play for an international team such as Germany, Brazil, France, Italy, and of course the USA!!!
Each one hour session is divided into 30 minutes of technical training followed by 30 minutes of small-sided games. Below is the breakdown of times for each specific age group.
There are three age appropriate sessions each week. Please register for the correct group. For more information please contact Erin Misaki, erin@dmcvsharks.com

BECOME A COACH
Every year we need more coaches, assistants and team parents. The league depends on parents to fill all these positions,and we are always looking to add to our roster of coaches, at all levels of experience. If you would like to volunteer as a coach or assistant coach, or if you know someone who is interested in making a difference in a young soccer player’s life, please contact our Director of Coaching. No experience is necessary, we will train you!
You can also register online as a volunteer at the same time you register your child and let us know which position you would like. For Head and Assistant Coaches, our Division Coordinators will be your source of information. We will only form teams for the number of coaches we have. All other players will be placed on a waitlist until another coach volunteers.
The requirements for coaching are set by our parent organization, Cal South. All Head and Assistant coaches must go through Risk Management (fingerprinting) that is paid for by the league. In addition, coaches are now required to have a coaching license and we offer a minimum or two license classes per season. You will also be asked to attend a coaches meeting in August. For detailed information, contact our Director of Coaching.

TOPSoccer is an outreach soccer program that is designed to meet the needs of children and young adults with physical and/or mental disabilities. The program is designed to foster the physical, mental, and emotional growth of the child and to teach basic soccer skills in a fun and rewarding environment.
