Clothing and Equipment

Your Tiny Trooper needs to wear comfortable athletic clothing. Make sure they dress appropriately for the weather. Did you purchase a Tiny Troops Soccer t-shirt? Your child can wear that to their first class. Closed-toe shoes are a must! We don't want smashed toes or shoes that will come off easily. Cleats are optional for play. Don't forget to bring a size 3 soccer ball and water to drink.

What to Expect

2-Year-Old Classes

Two-year-old classes are Parent and Me and last for 25 minutes. Parents are welcomed to the field, along with their Tiny Trooper. The coach will do introductions. They will ask a fun question and have you help your child answer when it is their turn. After introductions, a warm-up activity will get everyone up and moving. That leads to working on learning to dribble and practicing this skill, followed by a fun game. Once dribbling has been completed, there are listening games and more games to practice dribbling. Finally, the class ends with an obstacle course. Finally, every class ends with a wrap-up, including reviewing the skills and games played, announcements, a closing cheer, and a sticker!

3/4-Year-Old Classes

3- and 4-year-old classes begin similarly to our 2-year-old program. Each class is 45 minutes long. Coaches will call all Tiny Troopers to the field and have them sit at the center cone. They will do introductions, asking a fun question for each child to answer. Warmups come after and help your child get their body ready to play. Then, dribbling skills are taught and practiced. From there, various games and listening activities are utilized to reinforce skills. Children in this age group will also learn to do toe taps, penguin walks, Ronaldo chops, pullbacks, and more. During classes 2 and 3, players will participate in a scrimmage at the end of the class. Finally, the coach will call everyone back together for the wrap-up. After reviewing the class activities, there will be a closing cheer, and stickers will be given to each child.
