Find the Right Soccer Program for Your Child

Finding the Right Soccer Program

Choosing the best program for your child’s needs and goals is essential for their growth and enjoyment. Use this guide to determine where your child fits based on their age, skill level, and soccer ambitions.

Where to Start

We recommend that most players begin with our Mini Soccer Training, which runs during the winter (October–April) and summer (May–July). This program builds a strong foundation in soccer skills, teamwork, and confidence.

For those looking to supplement their league experience, our Futsal Program is an excellent option. It’s designed to enhance ball control, speed, and quick decision-making in a fun, indoor environment.

Children aged 4–11 who are new to soccer or still developing their basic skills.
