Kickin’ Tots classes offered at Family First Sports Park are designed for children ages 3-5 years old. The focus of these classes is to teach child development skills. At this age, learning specific soccer skills is not the focus. Soccer will be the theme used to develop other skills such as: listening, imaginative play, confidence, cooperation, following directions, balance and coordination. The classes will be full of activities and games to keep the children active and having fun.
The classes will be divided into four different levels: Cubs, Koalas, Pandas and Polars. The Cubs class will require a parent to be on the field. In all other classes, the children will be on their own with the instructor. Each level will build upon skills learned in the previous level. Each class will be 45-60 minutes in length and meet

Koalas (Beginner – 60min.) – The Koalas class is recommended for children to participate for the first time on their own. Basic ability to listen and follow directions is a must.
