Thumpers is a fun, adult-interactive class for toddlers and parents led by one of our coaches. The class will play organized games together to develop listening skills, balance, ball skills and foot eye coordination. It’s the ideal next step after Bunnies class and a perfect introduction to Lil’ Kickers for new players who are between 2 and 3.

Thumper aged children are at an amazing point in their lives. They are eagerly growing and learning by leaps and bounds, trying to gain some independence, yet they are still very much in need of adult guidance in their activities. It’s the “I do it myself but don’t go too far away” stage. Still learning best by repetition but gaining a growing desire to be challenged, our classes are divided into 4 segments to balance their needs. The repetition found within each segment provides the stability a child needs to process information and gives them the opportunity to master skills before moving on to more difficult ones.

Parent’s Role: Thumpers love to mimic behavior. Despite appearing independent, often they will do and say what you do and say.  Actively participating in class with your child will greatly improve their learning because they will do what you do. By participating in class guiding their behavior becomes easier, children will have more positive examples to follow, plus there is an entire class of cheerleaders rooting for their accomplishments!

Classes include parachute activities, bubbles and start playing more advanced story-driven games like Hungry Hippos. Classes are 50 minutes long with a child-to-coach ratio of 12:1. Adult participation is required.
