Bunnies: Parent & Child: (Boys & Girls; Ages 18 – 24 months)

Often a child’s first experience with group learning, this class is designed to give them a perfect start. This fun introduction to the Lil’ Kickers program gets you and your toddler exploring basic soccer and movement skills together. Classes include parachute activities, bubbles, lots of goal scoring and the famous cone towers! With parents by their side, our youngest Lil’ Kickers feel safe to explore new experiences and create new relationships while learning in a fun and dynamic environment.

Thumpers: Parent & Child (Boys & Girls; Ages 2-3 Years)

Parents and kids, lead by one of our instructors, play organized games together to develop listening skills, balance, ball skills and foot-eye coordination. Thumpers is the ideal next step for Bunnies veterans who are not yet old enough for the Hoppers level, and a perfect introduction to Lil’ Kickers for new players who are just barely 3 years old. While parent involvement continues here, this class bridges the gap between parallel play and directly interacting with the coach and other players. So “why” take a Thumpers class? Because it is a blast.

Cottontails: Parent & Child (Boys & Girls; Ages 2 ½ – 3 ½)

If your child is ready for a more challenging lesson plan, but not quite ready for the independence of a Hoppers class, then Cottontails is the perfect fit. Our instructors will work with you to develop your child’s coordination and confidence to prepare them for the next level. The goal is to get them to be more interactive with the coach, to play with (rather than alongside) their peers and to engage in the game. Parents are there to provide just the right support.

Hoppers: Beginner (Boys & Girls, Ages 3 – 4)

To share and share alike? Not always. These kiddos are raring to go, but need lots of direction to get there. Preschoolers have a hard time sharing, but we help get them there. After all, soccer (and life!) is all about give-and-take. The goal of these classes is to create teammates who are coachable and eager to learn. Sharing is a big part of that. Creative story lines and animated coaches keep kids engaged and having fun. They won’t even know they’re working hard and learning. They’ll come away with important skills for soccer and beyond. Classes include parachute activities, bubbles, lots of goal scoring and the famous cone towers!

Jackrabbits: Intermediate (Boys & Girls, Ages 3 – 4)

Jackrabbits is an intermediate class for Hoppers veterans or children with other soccer experience. Fun and fast-paced classes for kids who are naturally a little more competitive or with previous class experience. Buckle up! These preschoolers are eager for action and ready to learn. Coaches will guide them towards great soccer skills (specifically passing, trapping, shooting, attacking and defending) and introduce them to scrimmaging. Look a little closer and you’ll also notice improved communication, listening, sharing, perseverance and resilience.

Big Feet: Beginner (Boys & Girls, Ages 5- 6)

For kids who are just getting introduced to organized soccer or who are less competitive by nature but want a great soccer experience. Big Feet classes will help them develop a basic set of soccer skills, including dribbling, passing, trapping and scoring. We’ll introduce some small-sided games to encourage progress into Micro classes. Some kids are a little shy and perhaps not very competitive by nature, but still want to learn a sport and have a team experience. We get that. Big Feet classes serve these kids well. Full of all the same fun, goofiness and opportunities to learn soccer and life skills, these classes do it just a little differently. After all, lack of experience or temperament shouldn’t keep us from getting in the game.

MAKE-UP CLASSES

Summer classes do not typically offer make-up classes, as our reduced rates take into account classes you might miss!

You are allowed to make up any missed classes within the session in which you are enrolled, subject to space availability. We typically offer many other class times, so usually this is not a problem; however we cannot guarantee that space will be available. And note that you cannot carryover make-up classes into later sessions. To coordinate a make up class you must contact Coach Mere at mhaymond@unitedsports.net or 610-466-7100 ext. 114.

FREE TRIAL CLASSES

We do offer one free trial class to new customers to see if their children enjoy the Lil’ Kickers experience. The free trial policy is usually limited to one free class per child. Click here to schedule a Free Trial, or contact Meredith Haymond (mhaymond@unitedsports.net).

• Customers may only do trials in classes that have space available.
