KIX SOCCER WEEK – Best Soccer, LLC
A friendly and FUN introduction to dribbling, stopping and con-
trolling the ball. Best Soccer’s KIX classes are unique and not
like any other sports program. They are purposely designed to be
FUN, silly, age appropriate and a high energy experience for chil-
dren. This soccer program features exciting games and activities
to teach the fundamental skills of the sport, and all that comes with
it. Your child will learn to participate in a group, follow simple
instructions, cooperate with peers, develop gross motor skills, and
let’s not forget, the obvious benefits of having them burn off some
of that energy! First KIX coaches are highly experienced in deal-
ing with this age group of children and are brilliant at what they
do!! The non-competitive curricula is very effective, targeted to
children ages 3-5 years old, completely one of a kind. Kids should
wear shin guards, cleats or sneakers, and bring water. (No cleats
when running in the Town Hall Gym.)

Let’s take a walk through the fundamentals of America’s favorite
pastime. The children will learn the basic skills in fielding, throw-

such as home run derby, last one standing, and running bases. This
is an easy introduction to t-ball where learning and skill develop-
ment are our priorities.
