The Super Kickers program is geared toward player development rather than competition. Each session is led by trained coaches and buddies who use individualize activities to engage all players based on their preferences and needs. And each player is assigned a buddy, who volunteers for the role. The buddies are students drawn from our local schools. Buddies work alongside players on their soccer skills while the player is engaged on the field. We often find that a special relationship develops between the players and their buddies.
No experience necessary. Our goals for Super Kickers are
- Sense of belonging by being a part of a team
- Improved self-esteem, fitness, social and soccer skills
- Success based on individual ability
- Fun!
The program allows participants to focus on their abilities, in an encouraging, safe & FUN environment.
