We offer the best value program for younger players, including the highest "player to instructor" ratio, with many extras that 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 a chance to succeed.

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 will enjoy a practice followed by a scrimmage. 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. This will prepare the kids for the upcoming Fall season when the format expands to a larger field and a real game feel, playing on a team.
