Micro Classes are separated by age and combine skill building games and drills with scrimmages to optimize learning in a non-competitive atmosphere. Classes are for children who have prior soccer experience.

In Micro Classes the focus is on building skills and then using those skills in a game-like situation. Every two weeks a new skill is introduced. The games played during that week focus on the new skill and also continue to build on the skills that have been previously introduced.

From a developmental standpoint, the classes are separated according to ages that are in a similar their skill set, not only looking at soccer skills but taking into account social and emotional skills as well. It is important to note that Lil Kickers strongly recommends enrolling your players in the Micro class that your player falls into.

Parent’s Role: We encourage parents to be involved in their child’s soccer experience. 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. Children can only focus on one set of instructions at a time, and our instructors need to be the only coach during their class. The best way for parents to help is to support and encourage the child to listen to their coach.

Classes are designed to enhance individual and team skills with an emphasis on fun and safety with a 25-minutes instruction, a 25-minute scrimmage and a child-to-coach ratio of 12:1.
