Bunnies - 18-24 Months - Parent & Child Classes
Bunnies classes guide toddlers in learning basic soccer skills while building fundamentals such as balance and coordination. Classes incorporate activities that are geared toward a toddler’s unique way of learning and include parachutes, bubbles, noodles, cones, lots of goal scoring and more.

Thumpers - 2-3 Years - Parent & Child Classes
Parents and kids, led 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 and a perfect introduction to Lil' Kickers for new players.

Cottontails - 2.5-3.5 Years - Parent & Child Classes
Cottontails is a class designed for children who are ready for more of a challenge than a Thumpers class, but who are not quite ready to be on the field without a parent or caregiver. The Cottontails curriculum is designed to build fundamental skills such as balance, coordination, and ball skills. Cottontails classes also offer another component—helping your child build a sense of independence. As children progress through the session and become ready for more independence, parents can choose to transition to a less active role in the class, helping prepare the child to transition to the next level.

Hoppers - 3-4 Years - Beginners
Hoppers classes are designed to be fun and fast paced. Classes focus on building balance, coordination and fundamental soccer skills through creative play and also help develop listening skills, cooperation and teamwork. Hoppers classes are the first class where children participate independently.

Jackrabbits - 3-4 Years - Intermediate
Jackrabbits classes are designed to help transition children into team play.  Children play creative games to develop fundamental soccer skills and will also be introduced to more one-ball oriented games and scrimmaging. The focus of the scrimmages will be to help players understand how to apply skills in different situations and building teamwork.  Some small sided non-competitive soccer games are introduced.

Micro 4/5 - 4-5 Years - Intermediate
Micro 4/5 classes are for four and five year olds with previous soccer experience who are ready for more of a challenge. Players learn more advanced fundamental soccer skills through fun, age-appropriate and creative skill building games and have the opportunity to practice those skills in non-competitive scrimmages.

Big Feet - 5-6 Years - Beginners
Big Feet classes are for five and six year-olds who have not played a lot of soccer before, or who respond better to a low-key environment. Classes build basic soccer skills (dribbling, passing, trapping, scoring) and develop a sense of confidence on the field. Players will also learn sportsmanship and team play. Some small-sided, yet non-competitive soccer games are played to enhance learning how to apply skills in game situations.

Micro 6/9 - 6-9 Years - Beginners - Advanced
Micro 6-9 beginners classes are designed for six to nine year olds who have little or moderate experience playing soccer. Players will learn a new fundamental soccer skill each week and have the opportunity to practice those skills in non-competitive scrimmages.

Micro 6-9 intermediate classes are designed for six to nine year olds who have 1-2 years experience playing soccer. Players learn more advanced fundamental soccer skills through fun, age-appropriate and creative skill building games and have the opportunity to practice those skills in non-competitive scrimmages.

Micro 6-9 Advanced classes are designed for six to nine year olds who have 2 or more years playing experience. Players will learn more advanced soccer skills and be challenged to perform skills in fun games and in a more intense training environment.
