S3a Soccer - “Coach & Me” StartSmart+StartRight programs are a fun and positive introduction to soccer for children aged 3 - 5, and their parents (Coach)! There is no better first coach than a parent or family member to introduce your child to a beautiful game. Our coaches will work with your child and you to learn the fundamental skills, language, and techniques of soccer through a program of structured activities, dance, fun based games, and scrimmages.
Each “Coach & Me” StartSmart+StartRight Soccer program focuses on learning through an array of creative fun games, music,dance designed to stimulate a child's imagination, develop age appropriate motor skills, and maximize learning. We have realized that our coaches can spend only 1-2 hours a week with your child, while you spend the other 98% of the time with them, so properly introducing soccer fundamentals, language and philosophy together works best. With you guiding your child through the training under the instruction of the coach, you will help your child to follow directions and learn the world's beautiful game and sport, all while having bundles of fun together! And what better way for you to spend quality time together, get a little workout and ease your child into social situations with support and confidence.
