Class Descriptions
BUNNIES
Bunnies, a fun introduction to the Lil’ Kickers program, is designed for parents and children to participate together. Toddlers and parents explore basic soccer and movement skills in classes that include parachute activities, bubbles, lots of goal scoring and the famous cone towers! All classes are focused on child development first and soccer second. Open enrollment any time.
Limit: 10 per class
Ages: 18 to 24 months
Class Length: 40 minutes
THUMPERS
In Thumpers, parents and kids are led by one of our instructors to play organized games that 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 just barely 3 years old. All classes are focused on child development first and soccer second. Open enrollment any time.
Limit: 10 per class
Ages: 24 to 35 months
Class Length: 40 minutes
COTTONTAILS
The Cottontails curriculum builds fundamental skills such as balance, coordination and ball skills. Cottontails classes also help your child build a sense of independence. As children progress through the session and become ready for more independence, parents can transition to a less active role in preparation for Hoppers classes. Cottontails is perfect for the child who has done Thumpers for at least two sessions and is not quite ready to let go of mom or dad – and it is also perfect for the Hopper who is 3 but is not ready to let the parents go.

MICRO LEAGUES
Micro Leagues are non-competitive, developmental leagues for kids 4 to 9 years old that are designed to enhance individual and team skills with an emphasis on fun and safety.
