Micro Coaches
Mukilteo Youth Soccer Club has made some changes to the way the micro-program operates.
Instead of holding 1-2 practices during the week, we have changed to a 30-minute practice session on Saturday Mornings. Then a 30-minute game immediately follows.
Coaches may still choose to practice during the week once field access is approved through our field coordinator.
