BUNNIES: (18 - 24 Months) - Parent & Child
Classes

to soccer with games that allow them to run, play as a group and kick a ball.

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 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.

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.
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.

(4/5 and 6/7 Intermediates)
Micro classes are for four, five, six and seven year olds

MICRO 8/9: (8-9 years

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.

instruction and 20-25 minutes of non-competitive scrimmaging.
MICRO ADVANCED: (5-9

curriculum to create a rewarding soccer experience that is more clinical in
nature. Children in these classes will be introduced to more complex soccer
skills and tactics and will be given opportunities to practice these during
scrimmages. The focus is more clinical but the classes continue to also
emphasize fun and effort.
- Classes are 50 minutes, once a week with 30 minutes of
instruction and 20 minutes of scrimmage.
