Welcome to the Little Surfers! Scroll down for more information on the program.
What is Little Surfers?
The Little Surfers Program is designed to introduce the sport of soccer in a FUN and relaxed learning atmosphere to players 3-5 years old. Sessions will have a focus on body coordination, ball manipulation, learning easy ways to change direction with a ball, and small-sided games. All practices are filled with imaginative games and adventures and show players just how FUN it can be to have a ball at their feet! The staff will introduce techniques and game play in a fun, player centered environment with lots of individual instruction.
Love the Ball. Love the Game.

F.A.Q
Why should I expose my child to the program at these young ages?
These are the golden years of learning. Kids at these very young ages can learn important life skills such as sharing, communication, teamwork and sportsmanship which can have a profound effect throughout their lives.
What if they are nervous or uncomfortable in a group setting or they have never played soccer?
We have never met a child who didn’t want to have fun. Some may take a bit of time to enjoy the games and learning, but the fun of the game is contagious and nearly every child will engage in the session given a little time and encouragement. Most of them jump right in and love running and laughing with the other children.
Will there be any opportunities to play on a team?
Yes! If your little one is ready to take the next step and be part of a team, we will be building teams to play indoor/outdoor and eventually, down the road, graduate to the Junior Surfers program (U7-U8).
If your child isn’t ready, that is totally fine. Everything is timing! The Little Surfers program is designed purely to ensure families have access to a local, weekly, fun soccer skills program to continue their child’s development and enjoyment of soccer with no pressure, at all, to join a team.
What should my child bring to the session?
The children can wear their favorite activity clothes and athletic shoes or tennis shoes. They can bring a soccer ball and a water bottle. A Little Surfers jersey will be handed out early in the program for the little guys to wear and feel part of a really special group!
