Program Descriptions
Little Dippers- In our Under 2 year old program we introduce the class experience. We stress learning and exercising while having fun. This is a parent participation class that encourages play and bonding between the parent and child. A variety of games are used to stress motor control and learning how to participate as a group.
Big Dippers- In our Under 3 year old program the group or class structure is emphasized. While still being accompanied by a parent the emphasis moves toward group play. Soccer is used as a basis for skills and for listening, but many games are introduced that stimulate children to be active and have fun.
Shooting Stars- In our 3 year old program it’s time to leave the parents on the sideline. Children are often away from the parent for the first time and not only need leadership and structure, but often require a softer touch to ease them into action. Once again, Soccer is the basis for this course. Dribbling, passing and skill work is taught in a fun and fast paced atmosphere to keep the kids engaged.
Asteroids- In our 3.5 -4 year old program the class progression leads to more skill work. A variety of games encourage the children to work on ball control and listening to instruction. It’s never a dull moment in this class as they are encouraged to run, kick and have fun.
Comets- In our 4 year old program is where Soccer Stars shine. Now able to work as a group, the 4 year old class is tailored to mastering certain basic soccer skills. Ball control and dribbling are practiced each week leading to scrimmages at the end of the 8 week session. This is the class where the children are developing the first skills for their soccer careers.
Shooters- In our 5-6 year old program our instructors are developing all the children’s individual soccer skills. We promote self confidence in this class. The instructors will guide the children through games and drills that will promote self growth. This class is the stepping stone for team play.
