What parents say
"My 5 year old has absolutely loved the Lil Kickers program! Everyone is super friendly and welcoming, the instruction is top notch by instructors that know and love soccer too. They will get down and on your child’s level and help them feel comfortable, work thru challenging new experiences and mostly importantly have fun with their soccer friends! What a great way to experience and introduce a sport to your child. I’m truly impressed with this program and recommend it to everyone we know that wants to try soccer."

"We did the free trial classes and then signed our 3 and 2 year old up for the season. The coaches are great with the kids. Ours were both pretty hesitant in the first few classes but now they love it. I especially appreciate how flexible they are with makeup classes and scheduling the seasons around holidays. And there’s a discount when you sign up more than one kid!"
