BUNNIES (18 - 24 Months) - Parent & Child Classes

Bunnies classes introduce toddlers to soccer with games that allow them to run, play as a group and kick a ball.

COTTONTAILS (2.5-3.5 Years) - Parent & Child Classes

Cottontails is a class designed for children who are ready for more of a challenge than a Thumpers class, but who are not quite ready to be on the field without a parent or caregiver. The Cottontails curriculum is designed to build fundamental skills such as balance, coordination, and ball kicking skills. Cottontails classes also offer another component—helping your child build a sense of independence. As children progress through the session and become ready for more independence, parents can choose to transition to a less active role in the class.
