Youth Soccer
Soccer is a Kick!
Soccer is a sport every youngster can have fun playing while learning about teamwork, developing individual skills and maintaining a good level of physical fitness. This recreational league allows each child to participate in every game. The size of the ball and field are proportional to the age of the participants to help foster soccer skills, rule knowledge and game strategies.
Happy Feet (Ages 2-3)
HappyFeet is a new soccer clinic using a fun “Story-time with a soccer ball” approach. HappyFeet is a 30 minute structured soccer activity with a ball and other fun props and a 15 minute game scenario to showcase soccer skills. The soccer activities incorporate classic nursery rhymes, songs and children’s games adapted to use a soccer ball and basic motor skills development.
HappyFeet is a perfect starting point for developing skills as it is non-competitive and uses fun techniques to train advanced motor skills, dynamic dribbling, shooting skills & fitness. For more information on the program, visit www.happyfeetpeoria.com
Sessions start 4/9 and 4/10; see chart for days/times. To register, click HERE.
