Soccer Classes
Our soccer classes teach fundamental skills to children aged 15 months to 12 years through age-appropriate games and drills. Younger children develop motor skills in parent-participation sessions, while older kids focus on technical skills like ball control and team play. Each 50-minute session maximizes ball touches to accelerate learning while maintaining a fun, non-competitive environment that builds confidence and social skills.
Summer Camps
Daily summer camps provide intensive soccer training combined with fun activities for children aged 4-12 years. Held at multiple Colorado locations, these 3-hour sessions focus on skill-building through games, small-sided matches, and team challenges. Camps run weekly from June through August, offering flexible scheduling while helping children improve fitness, coordination, and teamwork abilities in a supportive environment with experienced coaches.
Birthday Parties
Soccer-themed birthday parties combine physical activity with celebration for children aged 15 months to 12 years. Our 50-minute party includes organized games, skill challenges, and a 40-minute celebration period with provided tableware. Available at client locations or our facilities, parties accommodate up to 15 children with optional second coach addition, creating memorable experiences that emphasize fun while developing motor skills and social interaction.
Private Coaching
Customized private coaching sessions address individual skill development for children aged 15 months to 12 years. Our experienced coaches create personalized plans focusing on specific techniques, fundamental skills, or advanced soccer strategies. Sessions adapt to each child's ability level and learning style, combining structured drills with playful elements to maintain engagement while improving ball control, coordination, and confidence in a dedicated training environment.
Parent-Child Sessions
Specialized classes for 15-month to 3-year-olds promote early motor skill development through parent-assisted soccer activities. These sessions use imaginative play and simple drills to build balance, coordination, and social skills while introducing basic soccer concepts. The structured yet flexible format allows gradual transition to independent classes, with experienced coaches guiding both children and caregivers through developmentally appropriate activities that foster confidence and physical literacy.
