We know kids. And for 20 plus years we’ve led the pack in teaching them important life skills through soccer. We keep it fun. We keep it age-appropriate. We stay true to our roots, yet keep evolving. We help toddlers to 12-year-olds develop a love for the game… and so much more. Step onto the field during any Lil’ Kickers class and you will find it transformed into a world created just for your child. Our well trained coaches will thrill your child with 50 minutes of highly creative, high energy and age-appropriate activities that serve as a great introduction to soccer, and help children master developmental milestones, appropriate for their age.

Hear what they have to say about it

“They LOVE the imaginative games that are teaching soccer skills without them realizing it. It is perfect for their age. They love their coaches and look forward to soccer every week! Highly recommend- especially for those younger ones who need to start learning how to listen to other adults!”

Lindsey C.

“All 3 of our kids have been in Lil’ Kickers because they love it. And because we could see them growing in skill and confidence.”

Jenny C.

“As a (former) elementary school teacher with a degree in Child Development, I’m beyond impressed with his ability to wrangle three year olds, have them listen, teach them new skills, have them actually follow his instructions and do all of this in a kind, caring, and SILLY manner! Soccer is very important to me and I’m so thrilled that my child now loves it as much as he does- and that is thanks to such a positive experience with our Lil’ Kickers Coach!!!”

Elizabeth S.

“My son has enjoyed this program more than any other he has been in, and he’s played A LOT!”
