This program is our introduction to soccer and is for ages 4 & 5 years old, typically for children in grades Pre-K and Kindergarten. This program runs in both the Fall and Spring for 8 weeks and sessions are held at Tibbetts Brook Park Soccer fields and/or Saunders High School on Saturdays. The sessions are one hour in length and held in the morning. Parent volunteers coach individual teams of approximately 8 children per team. Our New York City Football Club (NYCFC) partnership supplies coaches with instructional plans each week to help guide the practices. The one hour program consists of 30 minutes of instruction and 30 minutes of play vs another group of Little Crushers. This program is a great opportunity to begin a child’s love for soccer.
Cleats preferred, but not required - regular tennis shoes are appropriate. Size 3 Soccer Ball Children will receive a Hillcrest Soccer Shirt at their first practice.
