School of Soccer Classes for - Ages 2-5
Age 2-3 Classes
This is our toddler development program and instills the love of soccer at an early age. We use a variety of fun games to develop balance, movement, motor sills, fundamental soccer techniques with the ball, rewarding and praising proper class etiquette (listening to instructions and cooperation with peers). Parents, be prepared to have fun on the field with your kiddos! Classes will begin the week of March 30th and run for 7 weeks. There are no official games for this age group. $10 T-shirts can be purchased at registration but not required.
Age 3-5 Classes
The 3-5 class format is the foundation of our school. We incorporate a wide array of games and activities that encourage young athletes to gradually develop proper techniques for striking, dribbling, and receiving a soccer ball. Coaches incorporate a variety of imaginative soccer themed games and activities with tons of running and social interaction (no standing around in lines with these active classes). Classes will begin the week of March 30th and run for 7 weeks, and there are no league games for this age group. $10 T-shirts can be purchased at registration but not required.

The curriculum is designed to produce players that have sound technical skills, confidence, coordination, and a passion for the beautiful game. In addition to your child’s weekly practice schedule there will also be games held on Saturdays in one of two leagues (Youth League or Select League). Players in the U5/U6 division are not eligible to participate in the Select League.
Parents of U7/U8 and U9/U10 players who are interested in their child participating in the Select League (or curious about an evaluation/recommendation from our SoS staff) will have the option to notify us during registration by choosing “Select League” or “Youth League” as your preferred league of interest.
Youth League: For Beginners & Experienced players ages U5 - U10
The Youth League format is well suited for a wide range of ages and experience levels. From beginners that are just picking up the sport to experienced players who love to play but prefer to participate in league format that offers flexible attendance on game days (great for multi-sport athletes that are juggling busy schedules). Youth League participants are assigned a specific start time and location for games on Saturdays based off of their age division (U5/U6, U7/U8, U9/U10). Teams are randomized each Saturday by the coaching staff after the pre-game warmup.
A variety of factors are put into consideration by the coaching staff when dividing the player into groups each game day (friend requests, experience, athleticism) but the ultimate objective is to create parity on every field. If a player is overwhelmed or dominating in the group that they are assigned to then we simply move them over to a new field that matches their level of play.

Select League: Ideal for technical or athletic/aggressive players U7 - U10
The Select League format is well suited for experienced players that are passionate and confident on the field of play. Players are assigned to a specific team roster for Select League games on Saturdays but are still free to choose which days/times/locations they’d like to practice at during the week. We require a higher commitment level on game day attendance for players that participate in the Select League due to each team having a limited number of available players assigned to each roster. Players should be willing to practice with a ball at home for 15-20 minutes per day.
