AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAMS
(AGES 4-8)
SCORE GOALS, MAKE MEMORIES, AND HAVE A BLAST AFTER SCHOOL STARTING MARCH 12TH!
Want your child to have a blast after a tiring day at school? Join our After-School Programs for children 4 to 8 years old at two locations!
In our programs, we aim to provide an amazing and unparalleled soccer learning experience for all children. Our classes introduce children to physical activities with and without a ball, emphasizing having a fun-filled exposure to the sport while learning the game's basic skills. Our qualified coaches focus on teaching all aspects of student development including physical, social-emotional, communication, and cognition. They are able to engage, develop trust, and modify each unique drill to each child’s specific needs.
All activities are age and level appropriate to increase motor development, stimulate thinking, and teach fundamental soccer skills. We will offer a new topic, skill set, and life lessons in each session including leadership, teamwork, communication, and more.
