Lil’ Kickers
Our program helps develop a child’s social, emotional, and cognitive skills while providing physical exercise and developing players who are good sports and good teammates — on and off the soccer field.
What do we believe?
- We believe childhood is a magical time full of possibilities.
- We believe in approaching everything from a developmental perspective.
- We believe learning should be fun.
- We believe in creating space for all children whether they are on the road to all-star soccer or simply just want to play.
Our Lil’ Kickers classes are 50 minutes long, once a week. Pick the day and time that works best for your schedule!

Bunnies
(18-24 Months Parent/Child)
Bunnies classes introduce toddlers to soccer with games that allow them to run, play as a group and kick a ball. They gain 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)
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)
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 kicking 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.
Hoppers
(3-4 Years Beginner)
Hoppers classes are designed to be fun and fast paced. Classes focus on increasing balancing skills, coordination and fundamental soccer skills. We utilize creative games and help kids 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 non-competitive 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 Classes
(4-12 Years)
Broken up by age group, Micro classes are non-competitive, developmental soccer classes. Classes balance the use of fun games and technical drills with non-competitive scrimmaging to teach new skills each week. Shin guards are required.
How long and how often are the classes?
Classes are 50 minutes long, once a week. Customers pick the day and time that works best for their schedule.
Can I join a class in the middle of a session?
Yes! We offer open enrollment, so that you can join anytime and have your class fees prorated. This means that you pay only for the remaining class and not the full session fee.
What should my kids wear?
Participants should wear comfortable clothes and indoor soccer shoes or plain tennis shoes. Shin guards are needed for Micro classes.
What if I can’t make it to one of my classes?
You are allowed to make up any missed classes within the session in which you are enrolled, subject to space availability. We typically offer many other class times, so usually this is not a problem.
My child’s coach last session was great! Can I request the same Coach again for the next session?
You can request a specific Coach; however your child’s placement with that Coach will be first come, first serve, and determined by space available. So sign up early!
