The class is designed for players between 6 and 7 who are developing faster then the other players their age. These players have an internal desire to be challenged and need to be exposed to a faster level of play. Because the classes are very clinical in comparison to other Lil Kicker Classes, players in this class must have an underlying passion for soccer and an independent desire to grow their skill set. This class is very challenging both physically and mentally.

The goal of these classes is to help players develop an overall comprehension of the technical and tactical aspects of soccer. This means we challenge the players to think about what they are doing BEFORE they do it, often times stopping mid-scrimmage to give the players an opportunity to learn and think for themselves.
As players grow with us, they will start to develop their own soccer personality. Our goal is to thread a love of soccer and winning with the development of character and performance into each of our players. We will emphasize sportsmanship and respect for both other players and coaches.

Parents Role: Parent support is important in helping children succeed. We do ask that parents be involved by supporting children with hi-five's and words of encouragement and refrain from coaching from the sidelines.
