First Kickers - Birth Years 2019 & 2020

BIRTH YEARS 2019 & 2020

Over two seasons per year (Fall and Spring) we work with hundreds of young players to develop their soccer skills, their social abilities, and their athletic prowess.

Our volunteer coaches are overseen by a dedicated Recreational Director and our Recreational program is focused on continuing the technical development of the players and identifying those who could play in our Competitive programs.

We use a game format based upon research and recommendations from National Coaching Programs and Educational research.

​The intent is to make the soccer ball their favorite toy. Players are assigned teams and training games are used where all players are actively involved with a ball. There are no lines of kids waiting their ‘turn’.

The games are age appropriate and designed for them to use their imagination, together with their ball. The session ends with a mini-match of 3 v 3 with small goals and no goalkeepers.

No refunds will be given once teams are formed, please see FAQ for full details.
