Lil' Kickers

Lil' Kickers is a child development program for children 18 months through 9 years old. For ages 3 and under, Toddlers and Parents explore basic soccer and developmental milestones. As children develop their skills, they move into more complex soccer tactics and activities. While based around the game of soccer, it is more about teaching kids life skills and being physically fit than it is about teaching the game of soccer. This is a nationally recognized program operating in over 70 facilities around the country. It uses a well-designed curriculum in each age group (and developmental level) to build a strong physical, intellectual and emotional foundation that will help children be successful on and off the soccer field. We believe in teaching children in ways that suit their developmental level.

For more information please contact our Lil' Kickers Coordinator, Bianca Owens, at 387-2955 x102 or email Bianca at: Bianca@Dreamsportscenter.com

Lil' Kickers Class Descriptions

Step onto the field in any Lil' Kickers class and you will find it transformed into a world created just for your child. Our developmentally minded coaches provide 50 minutes of highly creative, high energy and age-appropriate activities that not only teach technically sound soccer skills, but also help children master the developmental milestones they must tackle at each age.

Because Lil' Kickers is first and foremost a child development program our purpose is really to help children develop on all levels. Our classes focus on building a strong physical, intellectual and emotional foundation that will help children be successful on and off the soccer field. We believe in teaching children in ways that suit their developmental level. So you won't see adult-like skill drills in our classes, but you will see teaching methods specifically designed to create an atmosphere that is effective and fun. You will also see happy, confident and sweaty kids who are eager to learn and want to keep coming back for more.

Whether your child is new to soccer or has already developed a love for the game, the progressive nature of our program offers a place for children at every level.

Bunnies - Parent & Child	18 - 24 months	Bunnies classes are a fun introduction to the Lil' Kickers program. Toddlers and parents explore basic soccer and movement skills together. Classes include parachute activities, bubbles, lots of goal scoring, and the famous cone towers!
Thumpers - Parent & Child	2-3 years	Parents and kids, lead 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 who are not yet old enough for the Hoppers level, and a perfect introduction to Lil' Kickers for new players who are 3 years old.
Cottontails - Parent & Child	2.5 - 3.5 years	Cottontails is a class designed for kids who are ready for more of a challenge but who are not ready to be on the field with-out their parents. The Cottontail curriculum is designed to build fundamental skills such as balance coordination, and ball skills. As kids progress parents can choose to transition to a less active roll in the class.
Hoppers - Beginning	3 - 4 years	Three and four year-olds get a fast-paced, fun exposure to the most popular sport in the world. Classes focus on foot-eye coordination, dribbling, scoring and balance. Hoppers classes will also introduce the concepts of teamwork and cooperation. Hoppers will not play any competitive soccer games.
Jackrabbits - Intermediate	3 - 4 years	Jackrabbits is a class designed for three and four year-olds who have either taken a session of Hoppers or have other soccer experience. Jackrabbits classes will focus on more complex ball skills (trapping and passing). Some small-sided soccer games will be introduced.
Big Feet - Beginning	5 - 6 years	Big Feet classes are for kids who have not played soccer before. These classes concentrate on giving beginners a set of basic soccer skills (dribbling, passing, trapping, scoring) and some confidence on the field of play. Kids will be introduced to the ideas of sportsmanship and team play. They will play some small-sided soccer games and be encouraged to progress into Micro Leagues.
Micro Classes	4 - 9 years	Micro Classes are non-competitive, developmental classes for kids 4-9 years designed to enhance individual and team skills; with an emphasis on fun and safety. Micro Classes are for kids who have played soccer before either in Lil' Kickers or another program.
