Soccer Cubs teaches your child (18 months-6 years old) the skills needed to enjoy and excel in the game of soccer.
Our innovative toddler and children’s soccer classes focus on game fundamentals while promoting important developmental milestones such as balance and coordination, listening skills, and teamwork. The interactive curriculum has been refined over the last decade to insure kids have a great time but still get a lot out of each class.
Sessions operate indoors over an 8-week season in which students learn a new skill each week. As your child progresses through the program, they will achieve the physical and mental readiness necessary to perform in a competitive environment. Our coaches love kids and are passionate about teaching the game of soccer.
Toddler & Children’s Soccer Class Curriculum
We divide classes by age in order to meet your child’s developmental needs. Younger age groups focus on developing motor skills and building good technique. As students progress through the program, more team-based drills are introduced.
Classes last for 45-50 minutes and are once a week for 8 weeks. We have multiple class times for each age group. You can find class schedules by accessing the registration page of your chosen SoccerZone location.
Our USSF-licensed coaches lead fun activities to build your child’s athletic and social skills. We routinely change the drills and games to keep sessions engaging for returning students.

Week 2: Dribbling
Week 3: Trapping
Week 4: Passing
