Lil’ Kickers Child Development Program
Lil' Kickers is a one of kind,
non-competitive soccer and movement skills program for children ages 18 months -
9 years. As a child development program, Lil’ Kickers uses the great game of
soccer to teach kids to be successful in life. Kids can begin as toddlers
learning how to kick and develop gross motor movements and end up as a school
aged player with a strong set of soccer skills and an understanding of the team
concept. Classes are designed for specific age groups and skill levels and work
together to allowing children to easily progress through the program.
Bunnies classes are a fun introduction to the Lil' Kickers program. Toddlers and parents explore basic soccer and movement skills together. Classes include parachute activities, bubbles, lots of goal scoring, and the famous cone towers!
Parents and kids, lead by one of our instructors, play organized games together
to develop listening skills, balance, ball skills and foot-eye coordination.
Thumpers is the ideal next step for Bunnies veterans who are not yet old enough
for the Hoppers level, and a perfect introduction to Lil' Kickers for new
players who are just barely 3 years old.

Three
and four year-olds get a fast-paced, fun exposure to the most popular sport in
the world. Classes focus on foot-eye coordination, dribbling, scoring and
balance. Hoppers classes will also introduce the concepts of teamwork and
cooperation. Hoppers will not play any competitive soccer games.
Jackrabbits is a class designed for three and four year-olds who have either
taken a session of Hoppers or have other soccer experience. Jackrabbits classes
will focus on more complex ball skills (trapping and passing). Some small-sided
soccer games will be introduced.
Big
Feet classes are for five and six year-olds who have not played soccer before.
These classes concentrate on giving beginning kids a set of basic soccer skills
(dribbling, passing, trapping, scoring) and some confidence on the field of
play. Kids will be introduced to the ideas of sportsmanship and team play. Kids
will play some small-sided soccer games and be encouraged to progress into Micro
Classes.
Micro Leagues
are non-competitive, developmental leagues for kids 4-9 years designed to
enhance individual and team skills; with an emphasis on fun and learning soccer skills. Micro
Leagues are for kids who have played soccer before either in Lil' Kickers or
another program. In 50 minutes of class there will be 25-30 minutes of
instruction and 20-25 min. of small-sided games.
Children in
these classes will be introduced to more complex soccer tactics and skills. Our
curriculum is designed to introduce players to the finer aspects of the game of
soccer, including team concepts and individual skills. Classes are fun,
non-competitive, and taught by experienced instructors.
