Lil’ Kickers Groups:
BUNNIES
Bunnies, a fun introduction to the Lil’ Kickers program, is designed for parents and children to participate together. Toddlers and parents explore basic soccer and movement skills in classes that include parachute activities, bubbles, lots of goal scoring and the famous cone towers! All classes are focused on child development first and soccer second. Open enrollment any time.
Limit: 12 per class
Ages: 18 to 24 months
Class Length: 40 minutes
THUMPERS
In Thumpers, parents and kids are led by one of our instructors to play organized games that develop listening skills, balance, ball skills and foot-eye coordination. Thumpers is the ideal next step for Bunnies veterans who are not yet old enough for the Hoppers level, and a perfect introduction to Lil’ Kickers for new players who are just barely 3 years old. All classes are focused on child development first and soccer second. Open enrollment any time.
Limit: 12 per class
Ages: 24 to 35 months
Class Length: 40 minutes
COTTONTAILS
Cottontails is designed for children who are ready for a greater challenge than a Thumpers class, but who are not quite ready to be on the field without a parent or caregiver (as in Hoppers). The Cottontails curriculum builds fundamental skills such as balance, coordination and ball skills.
Cottontails classes also help your child build a sense of independence.
As children progress through the session and become ready for more independence, parents can transition to a less active role in preparation for Hoppers classes. Cottontails is perfect for the child who has done Thumpers a few times and is getting bored with that but is not ready to let go of mom or dad – and it is also perfect for the Hopper who is 3 but is not ready to let the parents go.
Limit: 12 per class
Ages: 2 to 3 year olds
Class Length: 50 minutes
HOPPERS
Three- and 4-year-olds get fast-paced, fun exposure to the most popular sport in the world. Classes focus on foot-eye coordination, dribbling, scoring and balance. Hoppers classes will also introduce the concepts of teamwork and cooperation. Hoppers will not play any competitive soccer games.
Limit: 8 per class
Ages: 3 to 4 beginners
Class Length: 50 minutes
JACKRABBITS
Jackrabbits is a class designed for 3- and 4-year-olds who have either taken a session of Hoppers or have other soccer experience. Jackrabbits classes will focus on more complex ball skills. Some small sided games will be played.
Limit: 8 per class
Ages: 3 to 4 Intermediate
Class Length: 50 minutes
BIG FEET
Big Feet classes are for 5- and 6-year-olds who have not played soccer before. These classes concentrate on giving beginning kids a set of basic soccer skills (dribbling, passing, trapping, scoring) and some confidence on the field of play. Kids will be introduced to the ideas of sportsmanship and team play. Kids will play some small sided soccer games and be encouraged to progress into Micro Leagues.
Limit: 12 per class
Ages: 5 to 6 Beginners
Class Length: 50 minutes
MICRO LEAGUES
Micro Leagues are non-competitive, developmental leagues for kids 4 to 9 years old that are designed to enhance individual and team skills with an emphasis on fun and safety. Micro Leagues are for kids who have played soccer before either in Lil’ Kickers or another program. Teams will field no more than four players at a time so each child can get maximum touches on the ball. The classes will consist of 15 to 20 minutes of instruction and 20 to 25 minutes of games. Everyone will get equal playing time and there will be no goalies.
Limit: 12 per class
Ages: 4 to 5, 6 to 7 and 8 to 9
Class Length: 50 minutes
JUNIOR ACADEMY
Corvallis Sports Park’s Junior Academy helps players who are interested in improving their soccer skills. The class will focus on skill development in a fun and exciting atmosphere. The first half of class will be devoted to skill development and the second half will focus on skills during a scrimmage or other game related activities. Classes are open enrollment.
