We recently signed up our 3-year-old toddler for some soccer classes. Full disclosure, he’s just a few months away from 4, but not close enough for me to say he’s four.
We had previously signed him up for classes when he was just 2.
Those early classes taught him fundamental skills such as ball control, sharing, and fair play.
Simple skills that will help hold a 2-year-old’s attention without boring him.
The classes didn’t require much, just some comfortable athletic clothing, some socks, and shoes he would be comfortable running in.
The program provided everything else, which included balls, cones, and tiny nets.
So adorable.
Structure
Each class was scheduled for early Saturday morning and lasted 45 minutes.
There were always several coaches present during each class to help with the activities and set up the equipment.
Each week focused on a keyword, with activities planned around it.
For example, one week the keyword might be Sharing, so the activities planned for that day would focus on teamwork and passing.
Simple things like that.
It’s amazing to see how much he has retained from those classes and how much it helped him grow.
Providing Support
Of course, as parents who love football, we take him to the park regularly so we can kick the ball around and do simple drills.
Everything we can do to help keep the things he learned fresh in his mind.
He still talks about it whenever he sees photos or videos of himself from his time in the class.
This just helps fuel our excitement for when he starts his new classes!

Make sure to take a good look at what the program has to offer before you commit to it.
One size does not fit all and if something doesn’t look or sound good to you, then it’s most likely not the right fit.
