What is Kidz 'n' Kicks Soccer?
Kidz 'n' Kicks Soccer is an in-school program designed for kids between 2-8. Soccer is the tool that we use to teach responsibility, character development, balance, coordination, respect, caring for others and teamwork.
Our innovative curriculum helps your child be physically active while learning about the global sport of soccer. Most scheduled sessions are during normal school hours, and Kidz 'n' Kicks brings the game to you, making it very convenient for parents as well as learning centers.
We have also launched our "Neighborhood Soccer Programs". These sessions are at various locations and on the weekend. Our youngest class of age 2's is a "Parent/Child Participation Class". Parents get a chance to join in the the fun games and drills we offer their kids.
Quality is definitely our main ingredient and we are NOT interested on being average. Our coaches are professional soccer players, as well as high level college players, who are very enthusiastic and passionate about working with your kids.
