Little Ballers
Welcome to the FUNdamentals of Soccer program, where young athletes ages 3–6 embark on an exciting journey into the world of soccer!
Our 6-week program is designed to introduce children to the fundamental skills of soccer in a fun and engaging environment tailored to their age group. During our sessions, we will introduce young players to the soccer ball and help them become comfortable using their feet to control and move it.
Our focus will be on ball movement, kicking the ball, stopping the ball, running while kicking, and aiming their kicks. Through fun and engaging activities, children will begin developing their soccer skills while building confidence and having fun.
Our experienced coaches understand the unique needs of young learners and use creative teaching methods to keep them motivated and enthusiastic throughout each session.
The cost is $100 for 6 sessions.
