All age groups are run by an experienced instructor/trainer/teacher along with assistants that can connect and engage with all kids, using a proven curriculum. All age groups focus on developing motor skills, encouraging team spirit, and instilling self-confidence in a non-competitive atmosphere with lots of goal scoring!! We offer the best value program for younger players including the highest "player to instructor" ratio, with many extras other programs do not provide. We do not mix age groups. No child will be grouped with other children older or younger by 12 months for the best learning experience and chance to succeed.

What happens if the weather conditions are poor?

We check the weather forecast early AM and will cancel the whole days classes if the forecast shows rain ALL morning. Sometimes they get the forecast wrong!
Makeup and refunds
We are unable to offer makeup classes. We guarantee a set number of weeks. No refunds are available after the first week takes place. We guarantee 7-weeks and will add classes if we have to cancel due to weather conditions.
How are you different than other toddler programs?
We have grown from just 75 kids just a few years ago to now the largest club program on Long Island for younger players with over 900 in the Little Feet Program alone, and over 1700 in the club through to ages 19 years old. The Little Feet program has a high coach to player ratio which helps engage all children in the age-appropriate curriculum. We are a community soccer club with many extra activities and events. We can offer your child a place to play soccer up to 19 years old. Multi-layered programs for all age groups including clinics, camps, team play versus other clubs, and much more.

We hope you can join us and be part of the fun with all the future soccer stars!
Toddlers and their parents will work together as they participate in activities focusing on developing their large motor skills. Running, tumbling, jumping, scoring goals and more will be on the menu. Players will work in a non-competitive environment with their classmates through parallel play.
*PARENT PARTICIPATION IS REQUIRED IN THIS CLASS*
Toddlers and their parents will continue to progress through the curriculum to develop and improve their large motor skills and listening skills. A soccer ball will be used more in the activities and the beginning stages of direction with the ball will be a concept they can start to understand. Parallel play in a non-competitive environment is still the objective of most of the activities.
*PARENT PARTICIPATION IS REQUIRED IN THIS CLASS*
Young players continue their discovery with more games and some age appropriate soccer skills are introduced. The class curriculum will include fun games with and without the soccer ball as the class learns team building and sharing. Scoring goals always in mind and some minor team-play(Scrimmage) will be introduced.
Players in the Munchkin division will participate in age-appropriate activities and learn fundamental soccer skills. The activities will require each player to utilize skills and fundamentals taught during the program The class will include a small-sided scrimmage.
Players in the Little Champion division will participate in soccer-related activities and skill learning for the first half of each class. The activities will require each player to utilize skills and fundamentals taught during the program. The class will end with a scrimmage longer than other age groups, so players can show off their skills and love of the game.
STRIKERS
Players are placed on a team and will enjoy a practice followed by a scrimmage versus another team. Separate divisions or Girls and Boys. This age group lightly introduces the Goalie position and game rules to the players with a "real soccer" type field and game environment. Additional Developmental program also offered with weekday training age-appropriate classes
