What is lil’ Kickers?
More than a soccer program—Lil’ Kickers is a nationally recognized child development program built around the game kids love.
Designed for children ages 18 months to 9 years, Lil’ Kickers was one of the first youth programs of its kind to combine soccer fundamentals with age-appropriate child development.
Every class is carefully structured to help children grow physically, socially, emotionally, and cognitively while having an absolute blast on the field.
Through imaginative games, engaging activities, and experienced coaches, children develop skills that extend far beyond soccer.
They learn teamwork, listening, following directions, problem-solving, sharing, taking turns, communication, and self-confidence—all while running, laughing, and staying active.
Whether your child is taking their very first steps onto a soccer field, learning to participate independently, or building foundational athletic skills, Lil’ Kickers meets them where they are and helps them grow at their own pace.

No worries, life happens! If you know your athlete will miss a class in advance, reschedule using your child’s DASH profile under My Activities. Select the date of the class you want to reschedule, then use the make up event button. Trouble rescheduling email Lil’ Kickers coordinator: [email protected]
Does my child need soccer cleats or shin guards?
No special soccer equipment is required! Comfortable athletic clothing, sneakers, and a water bottle are all your athlete needs.
Can we try a class before registering for a full season?
Absolutely! We offer one FREE trial class so your little athlete can experience the Lil’ Kickers fun before committing to a full season! It’s the perfect opportunity to meet our coaches, explore the program, and see if it’s the right fit for your child.
How long is each class? Can I drop off my child and pick them up at the end of class?
Classes are 50 minutes long. Please do not drop off your child. A guardian must be on-site for the entire class.
What is the difference between a Hoppers and a Jackrabbits class?
Hoppers is a class for beginning 3- and 4-year-olds that helps develop individual skills. Jackrabbits is an intermediate class between the Hoppers classes for total beginners and Micro classes for school-age kids who have had previous experience. In Jackrabbits, children play more one-ball oriented games to help them transition from individual skills to team skills. Some small-sided, non-competitive scrimmages are also introduced in Jackrabbits.
Can we come on any day?
No, to maintain class ratios and consistency within the program, we schedule children for specific times and days. When registering, be sure to first determine which day best suits your schedule. Of course, there may be an occasion when a make-up class is needed. In that situation, you can schedule a make-up class for any day in which class space is available. If your schedule changes during the session and you need to switch days, we will try to accommodate your needs to the best of our ability. However, changes cannot be guaranteed and are based on space availability.
If my child has a birthday during the session, should they move up to the next class?
If your kid is ready physically and emotionally, the option of moving up is always available, subject to the recommendation of a Coach. However, changing classes midstream because of a birthday is unnecessary.
What if I can’t make it to one of my classes?
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 this is usually not a problem; however, we cannot guarantee that space will be available.
