• Ages: 1.5–12 years old
• Schedule: Lil’ Kickers classes meet in 50-minute sessions
Lil’ Kickers uses age-specific classes rooted in child development theories and provides 50 minutes of creative, high-energy activities that serve as an introduction to soccer while helping children master important developmental milestones. The Lil’ Kickers x Sofive programs serve young players aged 18 months to 7 years, and the Lil’ Kickers age range in brief is 1.5–6 years old. High-energy coaches lead creative games that tackle age-appropriate developmental milestones in Lil’ Kickers, and no prior soccer experience is required. Lil’ Kickers is described as the perfect way for kids to start their soccer journey while building camaraderie, accomplishment, and self-confidence.
Skills Institute offers individualized coaching and a curriculum rooted in child development. Skills Institute offers fast-paced weekly training that helps players aged 5–12 grow at their own pace, regardless of their starting level. Skills Institute focuses on building both technical and tactical skills while fostering confidence and a love for the game, and it ensures that every player receives plenty of ball touches and personalized attention. Skills Institute classes provide players with the technical foundation required to thrive as they progress through the player development pathway, and no prior soccer experience is required, though prior participation in Lil’ Kickers is described as a bonus.
The kids’ soccer classes are designed to spark joy, develop motor skills, and build confidence while teaching the fundamentals of the game. The Lil’ Kickers x Sofive programs allow young players aged 18 months to 7 years to develop social, emotional, and cognitive skills through soccer-based activities designed by child development professionals. Partnering with Lil’ Kickers means families access a curriculum that has been refined over decades of working with thousands of children since 1999.
Sofive offers a free trial Lil’ Kickers class for first-time families. After booking a Lil’ Kickers trial, families receive a confirmation email and a reminder 24 hours before the class, and they can cancel or reschedule directly through the confirmation email. Families are asked to arrive 10 minutes early for the Lil’ Kickers trial. If the season has already started when a family joins, pricing is prorated so they only pay for the remaining weeks, and registration is always open. Outdoor cleats are not allowed on Sofive indoor fields, and all bookings can be made through Sofive’s online platform up to 14 days in advance, with Sofive reserving the right to change or reassign fields at their discretion.
For youth soccer, Sofive offers long-term field rental for teams, youth programs in partnership with Lil’ Kickers and Skills Institute, and regularly hosts tournaments. Sofive frequently organizes leagues for adult or youth soccer, runs structured adult soccer leagues with men’s, women’s, and coed divisions, and organizes adult leagues on a seasonal basis with consistent weekly scheduling, standings, and a playoff structure. Pickup sessions are frequently held in most centers for adult players without a team, and all Sofive centers provide on-demand field rental for multiple indoor or outdoor fields.
Sofive offers birthday party packages that include 90 minutes of supervised field time plus 2 hours in a dedicated party space for up to 16 children. Party packages include space for up to 16 kids and 30 adults, Sofive staff handle setup, supervision, and cleanup, and families are welcome to bring their own food and non-alcoholic drinks. Families can add an optional Sofive Youth coach to lead the field session with guided games and age-appropriate activities. Sofive climate-controlled indoor facilities mean no weather worries, and Sofive viewing lounges and cafe give adults a place to relax and connect while kids play.
Sofive’s lead investor since 2021 is City Football Group (CFG), which is described as the global powerhouse behind Manchester City FC in the UK and New York City FC in the US, and as the world’s leading operator of professional soccer clubs.
