Bunnies (18-24 Months) Parents & Child Classes - Offered at 9:00 & 10:00am - NOW OFFERING Wednesday Classes at 9:00am
Bunnies classes are a great introduction to the Lil’ Kickers program. Parents are always required for this class. Toddlers and Parents will explore basic soccer and movements skills together. We will be going over basic/first time soccer skills within these sessions, as well as working on socialization skills. At this age, we want to introduce the sport of soccer in a way that provides both memorable moments as well as a tiny bit physical fitness!
Thumpers (2-3 Years) Parent & Child Classes - Offered at 9:00 & 10:00am - NOW OFFERING Wednesday Classes at 10:00am
Parents are required for all of our Thumper classes. Led by one of our instructors, the little ones will be playing organized games together to develop listening skills, balance, ball skills and foot-eye coordination while working on those socialization skills. It's important at this age to introduce and teach the sport in an imaginary way! Therefore, You will see plenty of imaginary, age appropriate mini-games in all of our Thumper classes.
Cottontails (2 1/2-3 1/2 Years) Parent Interactive - Offered at 9:00 & 10:00am
This class is for students who want a step up from our Thumpers class, but are not quite ready to be without a parent on the field. Our Cottontail classes look to build fundamental skills such as balance, coordination & ball skills, while also working on interacting with the coaches and others. At this age, we are also working on simple aspects of the game and sport such as following directions individually for certain drills. We want to begin to let the child try a drill or mini-game out by themselves at this age.
Hoppers (3-4 Years) Beginner - Parent Interactive - Offered at 9:00, 10:00 & 11:00am
Three and four year olds will have a blast in this fast-paced action-packed class! Our Hopper classes try to really focus on foot-eye coordination, dribbling, shooting, locating and passing to a target. If you are looking for a class with plenty of laughter and games, this is the correct choice! Rules of the sport and teamwork attributes will be introduced at this age group.
Jackrabbits (3-4 Years) Intermediate - Parent Interactive - Offered at 9:00 & 10:00am
Our Jackrabbits class is designed for 3 & 4 year olds who have either taken a session of Hoppers or have previous soccer experience. Even though this class is parent involved, the little ones will be learning the rules and boundaries of the game, as well as partaking in drills meant to challenge them. We really want to work on having the child follow along and participate in as many games and drills individually as they can! This class is all about building confidence and getting ready to take on a whole training session by themselves!
Big Feet (5-6 Years) Beginner/Intermediate - Offered at 11:00am
Big Feet classes are for 5&6 year olds who have never played soccer before. These classes concentrate on giving beginner kids an introductory skills class on basic soccer skills, (Dribbling, Passing, trapping, stopping and shooting). At this age, you will see a mix of relay races, imaginary games, and plenty of teamwork-sided games. Participants at this age will begin to learn the rules of a full-sided soccer game.
Micro (4/5-6/7 Years) - Micro 4/5 classes are offered at 10:00 & 11:00am - Micro 6/7 classes are offered at 11:00am
Micro classes are non-competitive, developmental classes for kids 4-7 years designed to enhance individual and team skills.

In the later weeks of the session, Our Micro students will be put into game-like situational drills based on class size and participant skill level. Participants for these age groups will be learning and putting together all the rules to play a full-sided game by the end of the session.
