About
Tiny Kicks Academy offers soccer sessions, a summer sports camp, private training sessions, youth assistant coaching, and goalkeeper training. Each session is organized so that every child is actively moving and playing for the full duration of the session, including a full hour of activity in each scheduled hour-long session. The program introduces soccer to children as a fun game to stay active, learn, and play competitively, with learning skills mixed with fun games and disguised learning techniques.
• Schedule: Each session is organized so that every child is actively moving and playing for the full duration of the session, including a full hour of activity in each hour-long session.
Tiny Kicks Academy states that it is committed to providing the best soccer experience for children through a balance of skill learning and fun games. The program emphasizes every child getting lots of touches on the ball, and uses three curriculums and low coach-to-player ratios to create a personal experience for all children. Kids learn the fundamentals of soccer without realizing it, and sessions are described as so much fun that kids do not realize they are learning, with each session approached with enthusiasm and creativity. Quality goalkeeper training is offered to players.
