Training Days
Training Days – Fall ’25 – Field location is TBD
Dates: TBD
At the time of registration, you can select your class option(s).
Location
Kinder FC, through Marin FC, has access to numerous all-weather (artificial turf surfaces) fields in the central Marin Area. Primarily and whenever possible, Kinder FC is held outdoors on smaller turf ‘futsal’ fields. We look for a dedicated space for the 10-20 players per session per field. In the event of rain or if the field is unavailable, other fields or indoor athletic rooms will be used instead whenever possible.
Instructor
Donald Army has a special talent for coaching the youngest of players. He holds a USSF C license and has coached a variety of ages and programs. His experience goes beyond simply coaching the game to a deeper understanding of methodology, periodization, and pedagogy, particularly applicable to the zone 1 and earlier players.
As enrollment demands it, assistant coaches from Marin FC’s pro staff will be added to ensure a low player-to-coach ratio.
Registration
We moved the registration process to a different platform called BYGA so things may look a bit different if you have been part of Kinder FC in the past. The registration link will take you to a registration form. Once you have submitted your information, you will first be asked to verify your email. When the email has been verified we have to MANUALLY send you an invite to activate your account. This may take up to 48 hours, but your registration is confirmed when you get the confirmation email. Once your accept the invitation, you will be able to view the schedules, etc via the BYGA app, which you can download from your favorite app store. You can also login to the dashboard via your favorite browser on a computer or phone. The good news is that once you are verified and have accepted the invite you don’t have to do it again.
We no longer ask for training day preferences when enrolling. In case sessions are not balanced the instructor may suggest sorting the players into different training sessions, however this will only happen with your consent.
