What a Soccer Cubs class looks like
Every class is built around one big idea: little kids learn best when they're having fun. No drills, no pressure, just movement, games, and giggles.
How we group cubs
Classes are generally grouped by age: 2 and 3-year-olds together, 4 and 5-year-olds together, so activities match where each cub is developmentally. If skill levels are close, we're happy to mix ages too.
One coach, all year
Coach Mateen leads every single class himself. There's no rotating roster of instructors. Cubs get to grow comfortable with the same familiar face all year, instead of meeting someone new every few months.
A typical class
Classes run for about 30 minutes, right at your daycare, using soft training balls and gear sized for little feet.
- 1
Welcome & warm-up
We start with a silly stretch or song to get wiggly bodies moving and excited.
- 2
Learning the skill
Coach Mateen breaks down one skill at a time (dribbling through cones, passing with a partner, or a fun new trick) in simple steps every cub can follow.
- 3
Mini-game
We turn the skill we just learned into a low-pressure game, so every cub gets to use what they practiced while having fun with friends.
- 4
High fives & goodbyes
We end with a group cheer and high fives all around, sending every cub off happy and excited for next week's class.
Skills we build along the way
Soccer is the fun part, but every class is quietly building skills that help on and off the field.
- Dribbling & ball control
- Balance & coordination
- Listening & following directions
- Sharing & taking turns
- Confidence moving in a group
- Basic passing & kicking
