U6:   1 day per week
        45 minutes
        1:1 

Or 0:1 – the idea here is for the U6 players to show up on Saturday or Sunday for their hour, which includes 20- to 30-minutes of appropriate activities and then a 3v3 match.  This is the academy approach in which the players are not assigned to teams, but all children in the age group meet at the same time and place to be trained and have a game.
