Micro Soccer Clinics
This program prepares children ages 3-4 for organized soccer in a fun, non-threatening environment. The program allows children the opportunity to work one-on-one with a parent and coaches to learn basic soccer skills. Sessions are held once a week for 5 weeks and each week the exercises will become increasingly more difficult as the class progresses and children show improvement. A parent or significant adult must attend the clinics with the child. Sessions are offered on Wednesday’s either 6-6:30 p.m. or 6:45-7:15 p.m. All participants will receive a t-shirt.
