Our Approach:
At UpField Soccer, our approach is simple. We want to introduce soccer to children ages 2-6 in a way that opens up doors of possibility both on the field and off. The goal is for kids to not only learn the wonderful game of soccer, but to have fun, build social skills, and improve self-confidence in an environment that encourages children to be themselves and believe in themselves in hopes they can become the best version of themselves, that we believe provides the right foundation for soccer and life!
By developing these skills in a fun and non-competitive environment our little soccer star will be empowered to learn some of the most challenging deceptive dribbling skills in soccer...fearlessly.
We hope this amazing learning experience will build a solid platform for a life-long love and involvement in physical fitness and team sports...but selfishly we hope it's soccer!
Our Programs:
One of the greatest things about our programs for parents is the flexibility when it comes to our parents daily schedule. We understand that every schedule is already hectic enough, so that’s why we’ve carefully developed our programs to allow parents to introduce our amazing program to their little ones in a way that works best for their schedule:
WEEKLY PRESCHOOL CLASSES:
Our weekly preschool UpField Soccer classes are only 30 minutes and take place at the child’s preschool or early training center once a week, during the day while the parents work. These sessions will include highly structured soccer activities not only with a soccer ball, but also many other fun “props” that are sure to please.
During each and every class, we make sure that every child is having a fantastic time while also developing essential physical skills along the way.
These classes are constantly building on each other, and of course ... are always age appropriate. Each class will incorporate classic nursery rhymes, fun songs and children’s games that have been adapted to incorporate a soccer ball and general motor skill development (including introductory soccer touches!).
WEEKEND LEAGUES:
The weekend league program runs seasonally in the Fall, Spring, Summer & Winter. The program length ranges from 5 to 6 1-hour sessions taking place once per weekend. No practices are held during the week. This program is beneficial to those parents who have a hectic schedule during the week but still want to have their child participate on the weekends. We leverage our age appropriate curriculum to offer programs for children from ages 2-6 years old. We have found parents enjoy the league just as much as the kids do!
Each session begins with a mini class skill introduction session and is then followed by a non-competitive soccer game. The session structure and included components progress from Up Soccer for 2's to Up Soccer Advanced for 5's & 6's in a way that maximizes skill development while ensure all children are allowed to develop and excel at their own pace.
