Playground Program - Spring 2022 Season

The Playground Soccer program introduces our youngest players (3 years old, born in 2018) to soccer in a fun, pressure-free environment. The program uses soccer as the "teaching thread" to develop fundamental motor skills such as balance, running, jumping and throwing for your three-year-old.  This is the foundation of sports success and an active lifestyle. Let your little one learn the beautiful game the right way!

Playground Soccer uses group activities, soccer themes, and parent participation to develop the fundamental motor skills that prepare kids for all sports.  Players participate on a weekly basis with their parent (or another adult) working with them on the field.
