Creating a Positive 1st Experience A child's first experience in organized sports is very important. Often times in youth soccer, kids will get involved in the local rec league with a volunteer coach who may or may not know much about the game. They often have little experience in education and working with young kids, but are given a great responsibility in nurturing and developing the young soccer star. If the young player has a negative first experience with soccer his or her entire concept of the game, and sports in general, can be impacted. For this reason at HappyFeet we offer our most qualified and experienced coaches at the youngest age groups to ensure the 1st experience is a positive one for your child. HappyFeet & Future Legends programs will be the best individual development opportunity for your young player. Children will participate in weekly skill sessions, using fun games to develop some of the best fakes and moves in soccer. They will also have a chance to show off their newly learned skills in small-sided games versus other HappyFeet/Future Legends players. Your young soccer star will not want to miss this opportunity!
IMPROVE CHILD FITNESS
The ultimate and very best justification for participating in HappyFeet is your goal to significantly improve the fitness levels of your children. HappyFeet develops vastly improved physical skills guaranteed.
QUICKER SKILL ACQUISITION
Soccer is the only sport in which a child has to move a ball with their feet while simultaneously maintaining balance and changing direction. This guarantees every child greater fine and gross motor skill acquisition than alternative sports and general physical education classes.
MAXIMIZE FUN
We use stories, songs, nursery rhymes, fun games, dynamic movement and a ball for each participant to make our classes the single most enjoyable and beneficial activity children enjoy on a weekly basis. Children love every minute! A happy child who has satisfied their inherent genetic need to move is better able to focus, concentrate and maximize benefits from the other aspects of the school curriculum.
SUPERB COORDINATION & SKILL
No other sport will challenge your child to move the ball with his/her feet at speed. Only our HappyFeet program develops the advanced coordination needed to perform the most difficult soccer skills under pressure. Your child will have his/her own ball for 100% of every class. He/she will enjoy an incredible number of touches and an early familiarity and mastery of the ball unheard of at the younger ages.
FUN!
Our "Storytime with a Soccer Ball" approach keeps kids captivated and entertained for every second of every HappyFeet class. Your child will love pretending to be Hiawatha - The Dribbling Brave or Gus - The Banana-Gobbling Gorilla.
