Toddler Class: (15 mo. - 3 yrs)
This parent participation class uses fun games and activities to build confidence, motor skills, balance, coordination and more while your child kicks colorful balls and learns their colors. Socialization is also challenged by learning to share, take turns, and practice teamwork. Your child will also build their stamina and physical fitness in this class as the coach keeps it very high-energy, fast paced, and fun.
Preschool Class: (4 yrs - 6 yrs)
We encourage independent thinking, following directions, and teamwork which will assist the child in preparation for school. We use a variety of props and age appropriate games to introduce the kids to group activities that stress active motor skill development and social interaction. This class is very high-paced and works on developing ball handling skills, coordination, and physical fitness.
School Age Class: (7 yrs - 12 yrs)
This class is the perfect environment for a child who has never played, yet challenging enough for a child who has played before. More fundamental soccer skills are introduced in this class. Confidence will soar while kids master certain skills. We will also develop speed and conditioning, as well as field awareness, technique, tactics, and more. Kids will scrimmage for 20 minutes of every class, which will maximize the touches the child will get on the ball by playing small-sided games with highly-skilled coaches guiding play in a positive atmosphere.
