Kicks for Tots
WELCOME TO KICKS FOR TOTS
The Kicks for Tots program is designed to engage young children through fun games and activities that introduce them to the soccer experience. The season aligns with our Spring and Fall Recreation seasons and is led by trained coaches.
Children play soccer because it’s fun—they enjoy learning new skills, developing fitness, and experiencing friendly competition. Our program is designed for children born in 2019, 2020, and 2021 and focuses on developing motor and listening skills, introducing fundamental ball skills, and encouraging social interaction with peers of similar ages.
Our goal is to provide age-appropriate activities both with and without the soccer ball while using creative, engaging games to keep children involved. The program fosters a welcoming, fun, and comfortable environment for participants of all athletic backgrounds. No previous soccer experience is required to join.
