Kicker Garden

Introducing the Kicker Garden program, a fun program designed for children ages 4 and 5, the next level up from the Little Dribblers program. This high-quality weekly training program uses a unique methodology tailored to the needs of young kids. The use of small indoor turf allows maximum action, quickens training pace, forces development of reaction skills, and encourages creativity. While other programs resemble a non-directed play therapy, lesson plans at Avila are indeed designed to sneak in timing, motor skills, and even tactical awareness. This class will provide a great opportunity for your children to learn team work and enhance their developmental coordination as well as their social skills.

Our mission is to give children an alternative way to experience soccer that is free of competition. It’s about tailoring a program to the needs of young athletes so that through the game, they find a sense of mastery and self-development. As each player establishes a rapport with the ball and hones their motor skills, their cognitive abilities also increase within a stress-free, supportive environment. We always have fun, but transition from drill to drill quickly, making sure to include details often overlooked such as rhythm, coordination, creativity, vision, and individual excellence.
