FAQs

Participants should wear comfortable clothes and athletic shoes (no outdoor cleats). Shin Guards are not needed until Micro & Advanced Classes. Lil’ Kickers shirts are given every time a participant’s annual registration fee is paid. If you would like a new shirt in between your registration times, you can purchase one at the front desk. Outfitting your child in Lil’ Kickers garb is a fun way to make your child feel part of a team. 

  • Each child is given one make-up class per season.
  • Classes must be made up within the current season.
  • Make-up classes are dependent upon availability.
  • “FULL” classes are unavailable for make-ups.
  • Make-up requests must be sent to [email protected]
Each of our classes lasts 50 minutes with a water break halfway through. Between classes, there is a 10-minute break.

We offer four sessions a year (fall, winter, spring, summer) that break down into approximately 10-13 week cycles.

No, classes are 50 minutes and require a parent or guardian to be on-site at all times.

Yes! We offer open enrollment so that you can join anytime and have your class fees prorated. This means that you pay only for the remaining class and not the full session fee.

The session needs to be paid in full at the time of registration to reserve your child’s spot. Please note that we offer open enrollment and prorate class fees.

No, in order to maintain class ratios and consistency within the program, we schedule children for specific times and days. When registering, be sure to first determine which day best suits your schedule. Of course, there may be an occasion when a make-up class is needed. In that situation, you can schedule a make-up class for any day in which class space is available. If your schedule changes during the season and you need to switch days, we will try to accommodate your needs to the best of our ability. However, changes cannot be guaranteed and are based on space availability.

Ratios vary depending on several factors including the mobility of the children in the class, whether parents are participating in the class, and the level of technical instruction required. Typically, if a class has more than 8 children, there will be a second coach. Some exceptions may apply.

In this situation, we normally suggest placing the child in a Cottontails class. Cottontails classes are methodically structured and specifically designed to promote independence. We have found that these classes provide a successful, long-term solution to separation issues.

While many soccer programs are busy using traditional soccer skill drills to drive home the fundamentals of soccer, we approach coaching from a child-centered perspective. Because of this perspective, our main goal is to make learning fun for kids. We do this by putting instruction into a context that children understand, using special techniques designed around how kids naturally learn. Lil’ Kickers teaches your child the fundamentals of soccer but focuses on developing the whole child. Our program helps build social, emotional, and cognitive skills that result in our Lil’ Kickers becoming well-balanced and conscientious individuals on and off the soccer field.

Children with special needs are welcomed in our program as long as we are equipped to assist them accordingly. Please contact our Lil’ Kickers Coordinator for more information.

*Classes are subject to change or cancellation*

“FULL” classes are unavailable for make-ups or trials.
