Tiny Tot Kickers classes place a primary emphasis on childhood development while also introducing toddlers to soccer. Tot Shot Kickers is a beginner class that builds off Tiny Tots while introducing higher level soccer skills and fundamentals with a continued childhood development approach. Mini-League Soccer and Tot Shot Mini-League in baseball combine early childhood development class elements with traditional league-style scrimmage play and do not keep official score. Tot Shot Sluggers is a development-based baseball program focused on the social, physical and intellectual aspects of baseball. PlayActive is a sensorimotor-based movement, sports and fitness class where participants explore a variety of games and activities across different sports and fitness themes appropriate for each age group.
Playpen Sports Academy’s curriculum is focused on teaching children how to move and use their bodies, share with other children, interact in social settings, follow directions, and have fun in a physically active environment. The program is focused as much on the individual development of the child as on sport specific skills and expects some children to go on to be great athletes, but expects all children to go on to be great humans. Playpen Sports Academy is now the official league operator of MLS GO Leagues at select locations, and MLS GO is Major League Soccer’s recreational youth program dedicated to providing an affordable, inclusive, and high-quality soccer experience for all, with co-ed recreational leagues where no official score, records or standings are publicly tracked.
Playpen Sports Academy was started on the concept of reimagining what youth sports can be and the role it can play in a child's overall development. The organization is based in Chicago, IL and Appleton, WI and offers programs in Illinois, Wisconsin, and Indiana, including Columbus, Indiana. The leadership team includes founder Chris Nagel, and the program has been operating since at least 2017, as indicated by © 2017 Playpen Sports Academy LLC.
Referral discounts include $10 off for referred friends, a $10 credit for the referrer, and a free full season for referring five friends. One verified participant, Sarah P., stated, “I was surprised how much my little guy seemed to love his soccer class! We can't go more than two days without him asking about class or coach Ben!” Another testimonial from Sarah & Mikey P., a verified participant, reads, “I asking about class or coach Ben!”
