1000 Minutes to Better Soccer Program

PHMSA’s 1000 Minutes Program is a program for players who want to work on their skills outside of games and normal team practice sessions.

This work on skills can be done alone, with friends or siblings or even parents. AYSO’s Education Department has prepared an excellent manual describing a number of individual skills you can practice and learn on your own, and it describes an easy way for you to reach the 1000 Minutes. You can download a copy of it here. Also, participating in PHMSA’s XPlay program or any other PHMSA sponsored clinics can count towards the 1000 Minutes Program.
