The 3&4 year old division is an introduction to the basics of soccer. The goal of this league is for children to learn how to work together on a team, improve motor skills and problem solving. Coaches will focus on; teaching kids how to kick a ball and get it to go in the direction they want, working together as a team, and having fun. There are no referees or score keeping for this age group. Our goal is to teach kids to love physical activities and give them an opportunity to play in an organized sport while having fun.

The K-2 division is an introduction to the basics of soccer. Previous experience is not required to participate. Coaches will be introducing the basic rules of soccer, the use of goalies and the concept of fouls and positions. This division is designed to give children a basic understanding of soccer that they can continue to use as they get older and move on to other divisions. Score keeping and referees will not be introduced in this age group.
