My wife and I were more than impressed with the Little Kickers program that my son participated in through the summer of 2026. There were multiple coaches at every week’s practice, which I believe is important in order to efficiently run a program with a group of young children. The coaches did not only educate the children on the fundamentals of football, they did it in a way that was fun, imaginative and engaging with the children, which is essential for holding the attention of the children and allow them absorb and retain some of the skills they were teaching. From my experiences, this was very different in comparison to other sport programs for small children where there would only be one coach, or a parent would be the coach, and even if that person knew how to play and/or coach the sport, they had no idea how to engage with small children, resulting in a chaotic, inefficient and useless practices. What I was also very impressed with was that they were teaching the fundamentals of football and not just running a game scenario where the children are just running in clusters after the ball with no understanding of how to touch the ball, the rules and objective of the game itself. Again, something I’ve witnessed and heard from others who’s kids are in other football programs, is where the children would have a lengthy 45 minute game scenario. Remember, these are 4 and 5 year olds. Is it really teaching them how to play football when they are all running after the ball with no idea how to properly touch, handle and kick the ball? I would say absolutely not, and I am so thankful that Little Kickers did not operate that way. This program had the children learning those fundamentals (touch, handle, dribble, kick, etc.) for the majority of each session and in a really fun way, and the final 5 minutes would play a game scenario, which was sufficient a d appropriate for their ages. I plan on enrolling my son with Little Kickers next summer, and hope for a similar experience. Regardless, I would recommend Little Kickers over many other summer soccer programs that are available.
Little Kickers has been amazing! My son was very shy when he started a few months ago, and it’s amazing to see how far he’s come. He looks forward to the weekends, because he knows he gets to play soccer. Coaches are amazing & administrators have always been quick to help and answer my questions.
We enrolled both of our daughters in Little Kickers this summer; one in Junior Kickers and one in Mighty Kickers - and had such a great experience!
Our toddler didn’t have the greatest listening skills at the beginning of the season but it was so nice to see how much she learned and grew each week. By the end of the season, we saw so much progress in her listening, participation and confidence.
Coach Sabrina was amazing! She was so engaging and patient. She showed up every week with such great energy. Both of our girls absolutely loved her and looked forward to seeing her each week.
We had such a positive experience and cannot wait for the next season!
Very friendly coaches, variety of drills that were stimulating and appropriate for toddlers, organized, and encouragement of children to complete the drills without parental involvement and with the coach's support
The classes were really engaging for our toddler, the use of themes or games to incorporate elements of soccer drills made it fun. My daughter asked about going to soccer each week and that alone is a testament to the fun and engaging nature of Little Kickers. Coaches were also great with all the kids!
We loved the experience! The games were very organized and had several instructors to help out with the younger kids.
It’d be nice to offer a medal for last game instead of sew in badge and card.
