Section I – Background Information
More Than Soccer
Lil’ Kickers is about way more than soccer. They’ve come up with a model for coaching that has a positive impact on kids way beyond the fields. They started by getting deep into solid child development theories, consulting with child development experts and experienced coaches to come up with a curriculum that combines strong physical skills with overall life balance and confidence. This is a program that addresses social, emotional, and cognitive skills along with team-based physical skills.

A Winning Philosophy
Rather than a philosophy of winning, Lil’ Kickers has the following winning philosophy as stated on its website: “We believe childhood is a magical time full of possibilities; We believe in approaching everything from a developmental perspective; We believe learning should be fun; We believe in creating space for all children whether they are on the road to all-star soccer or simply just want to play.”
Age-Appropriate
When you visit a Lil’ Kickers field, you’ll see well-trained coaches leading 50 minutes of highly creative, high energy and age-appropriate activities that serve as a great introduction to soccer while helping children master developmental milestones appropriate for their age. You won’t see kids forced to do adult-like skill drills.
Kids as young as 18 months and as old as 9 years can participate in programs by age groups. New-to-soccer groups include Bunnies (18-24 months), Thumpers (2-3 years), Cottontails (2.5-3.5 years), Hoppers (3-4 years), Jackrabbits (3-4 years), and Big Feet (5-6 years), while kids who have played lots of soccer already break out into Micro 4/5, Micro 6/7, Micro 8/9, and Micro Advanced (6-9 years).
