Programs Offered: CUBS: 1 1/2 - 2 1/2 yrs
A child's brain is "under construction" until age 3. Providing a stimulating environment affects how a child's brain is "wired" for life. This parent participation class uses a variety of props, songs, and games to engage toddlers in participation activities. Simple motor skills are stressed. Class favorites - like parachute and bubble time - build physical coordination, explore early language skills, and pave the way for growing social development.

TEDDYS: 2 1/2 - 3 1/2 yrs
TEDDYS is a progression class for CUBS, and while it's still a parent-participation class, we work towards strengthening the child's autonomy, challenging listening skills and cognitive awareness. Additionally, more advanced motor skills are stressed.

BEARS: 3 1/2 - 4 1/2 yrs
We use a variety of props and age appropriate games to introduce children to group activities, emphasizing motor skill development and social interaction. BEARS participate in game-like scenarios that introduce basic soccer skills and team work.



BEARS II: 3 1/2 - 4 1/2 yrs
In this progression class for BEARS, students face more challenging skills and concepts, which reinforce foundational principles while emphasizing individual motor skill development and personal fitness.

GRIZZLIES: 4 1/2 - 6 yrs
More advanced soccer skills are taught and new concepts are introduced. We teach and develop kicking, balance, dribbling, foot-eye coordination, and running control using a variety of props and games. GRIZZLIES play small-sided, non-competitive games, and the curriculum is geared to give children lots of touches on the ball while having fun.

GRIZZLIES II: 6 & 7 yrs
More advanced skills, tactics, and rules are introduced. Kids learn and have fun while spending more time in soccer game situations. Individual technique is enhanced through the use of the Millennium Training System.



Costs/Admission Rates: The 8 week session costs $96.

Our Kids Loved It, Tuesday, 20 January 2009

Our 6 and 8 year olds have been in Lil' Kickers and Soccer Buddies for a few years and they love it. It's been great to see them developing and learning and the program has far exceeded our expectations. The classes are age appropriate and grow with the kids. They develop socialization, coordination, team work and listening skills that extend beyond soccer to other sports and life in general.
Educational Value
Educational Experience:  This program isn't just about soccer or sports. There are many more benefits and our kids are always eager to join the next season. But, if you or your kids are wanting to develop early soccer skill the program has a lot to offer there too.
Notes
Glad we had, wish we had...:  Glad they have fun, energetic and engaged instructors that are among the top I've seen in similar activities we do with our kids.

Your coaches are WONDERFUL. We had Coach Aaron & he was SO GREAT with the kids. Everyone we have dealt with from the moment we walked in the door has been so nice & helpful.
Educational Value
Educational Experience:  The education taught in this class is appropriate for this age group. It teaches them basics skills using creative ideas & methods.
Notes
Notes to next visitors:  LOVE THIS CLASS... my 2 yr old is not in daycare & needed to be socialized to kids her own age. This class is perfect. Not only does it do that - but gives her the chance to practice physical skills as well.
Glad we had, wish we had...:  I am glad we had her one friend join us in the class.
No "i wish we had... " from this parent!!!

Outstanding Program for Kids!!!!, Monday, 28 July 2008

My grandchild started soccer buddies when he was 18 months. He is now 7 years old and plays for an elite pride soccer team. He was not born a good soccer player, I believe he was transformed into one by Soccer Buddies. He still uses the basic skills taught to him by his soccer buddies instructors and incorporates them into his games and practices. Soccer Buddies was not only a blast for him but it taught him so many important skills for not just soccer but all team sports. I would highly recommend this class to anyone with a child that has energy, likes to have fun and likes sports or any type of game (which are most kids).
Educational Value
Educational Experience:  This program may seem like just a fun class filled with games and activities but it holds so many core benefits to my grandchild's learning. He not only has fun in classes but at the same time learns balance and coordination, teamwork, focus and discipline. These are very key elements in child development and I think Soccer Buddies does an excellent job of incorporating these into the classes.

Soccer Buddies is a great idea for young children to keep them busy and active!
Educational Value
Educational Experience:  My 3 year old daughter and 4 year old son loved soccer buddies! The games and activities were so much fun and kept them continually busy! They worked on motor skills, coordination, balance, following directions, teamwork, and many other skills to enhance not only their abilities in soccer, but in any sport. I was very pleased with the program and my kids can't wait to go back!!!!

My granddaughter participated in a free class when she visited Colorado Springs. She loved it so much she still talks about it a half a year later!
Educational Value
Educational Experience:  The instructor was great with the children. The program taught many skills and incorporated large muscle development that all children would benefit from, not just ones interested in soccer!
