Little Kickers Academy is a fun filled introduction to soccer for young players aged 4-6 years old. This a the turn on phase of the game. Getting all the young players tuned onto the game while having a fun time with their friends. We take the players on a journey through high energy Adventure Soccer activities and games. Getting these young players to use their imagination and being creative is very important to the young soccer player development. Each individual gets work on their ABC’S – Agility, Coordination and Balance while having fun developing their love of the game!
