Start Smart Soccer
        
        Ages:  3 – 5 yrs old
        3-5 years with parent. Play with your kids!! this program focuses on
        teaching children and their parents basic soccer skills such as kicking,
        dribbling, trapping & throw-ins/running without the threat of
        competition or the fear of getting hurt.  Each week the exercises
         become increasingly more difficult as the children show
        improvement. Children learn the skills, but have FUN in the process.
        It's important that the children have fun while learning basic skills so
        they will be more likely to participate in organized leagues in the
        future. If you have already attended a Start Smart Parent meeting, you are excused. Limit 20 parent/child teams.
