The Mini-Kicker Program is a fun introductory clinic for children aged 5-6 years old.  The curriculum is a theme-games based approach to coaching soccer in a fun and highly enthusiastic learning environment. 

Over the duration of the program we will introduce and play many fun-filled games incorporating the ball and movement coordination exercises.  You will see many games using "children’s movies and obstacles" as the theme to developing ball manipulation, dribbling, control, and kicking skills.  In addition your child will: 

• Learn the concept and rules of the game
• Play and interact with other children
• Listen and follow directions
• Learn sportmanship, respect and fair play 
   

Each session is approximately divided into 30 minutes of fun games and skill development, and 30 minutes of small-sided scrimmages.

The kids have a blast, parents and coaches smile and laugh, and together we have a great time enjoying the beautiful game!
