Mini-Kicks is our in-house soccer program that runs for ages 2 through 8 years old. It's designed to get the little ones some touches on the ball and have some fun. It's all about having some fun and learning some new skills and becoming more confident with the ball. As we get into the older ages, we focus a little more on development and making sure kids are challenged, but in a positive and fun environment.

Anthony Cosky runs the program and has been coaching all levels for the past 16 years. He's currently the Head Women's Soccer Coach at Colby-Sawyer College in New Hampshire. He will have a staff of young coaches run the classes with guidance from him and how the sessions are set up. They will do the best they can and ensure your child has a good experience. Our coaches will all have some experience playing soccer and also working with young children.

The classes are being offered from 9:00am to 1:00pm on Saturdays and Sundays. We also are offering Tuesday and Thursday mornings for ages 2-4. You will just pick one class per weekend typically the same day so either Saturdays or Sundays. The classes are set up so that you can ultimately decide if you want your child with younger kids or older kids. For example, the 9am class is for 2-3 year olds. The 10am class is for 3-4 year olds, and the 11am class is for 4-5 year olds. The 12pm classes are for the 6-8 year olds. If your child is 3 and about to turn 4, then the 3-4 year old class is probably best. If your child has some soccer experience in this setting and just turned 4, then maybe the 4-5 year old class is best. Ultimately after the first week or two of classes, if there are any changes that need to be made, the teacher will let me know and I'll reach out to you. We will end up getting everyone in the right class, but remember they are so young, it's not going to depend on skill level, it will mainly depend on where they are in their growth and how well they listen, etc.

The first session will be 10 weeks and the cost is $150. You can't pay by the class, but you can join anytime if there is space and will be pro-rated. If you sign up for Saturdays and you can't make it one week, you can attend the Sunday class and vice versa. The session will run from September 9/10 and will go through November 18/19 with no classes on Columbus Day weekend.
