We have exciting news!  

*NEW CLASS TIMES

*NEW 'TOTALLY FUN ADULT SOCCER CLINIC'

*TAKE LIL' KICKERS ON THE ROAD WITH YOU!

  • We are growing & now have additional class time options.  On Sundays we have added Big Feet (5/6 yrs beginner) and Micro 4/5 classes at 3pm! This is the first time Lil' Kickers of Syracuse has offered Sunday classes & it begins this Sunday (3/17).  Additionally the Skills Institute will now have classes on Tuesday & Thursdays at 5pm, Saturdays at 9 &10 am along with Sundays at 3 & 4pm.  Call ahead to check for availability!

  • Okay parents, this one is for you!  Our coaches will be handing out flyers this week to invite YOU and your friends to come try a free class in our 'Totally Fun Adult Soccer Clinic'.  We promise it will be fun and worth your time.  This is a great way to exercise (summer is right around the corner), meet others & have fun.  Your child will be thrilled to know you are practicing and into the game just as much as they are!  Coach Jason (University of South Carolina Upstate, division I athlete) is ready to lead the class on Sundays at 4:30pm!!

  • We know summers are busy and we are working hard to offer more convenient class times.  We are suggesting 6pm classes (normally 5pm) for Lil' Kickers on Tuesday and Thursday and possibly a later time for Skills Institute on Sundays.  These changes would start late June.  Your opinion matters, let us know if later class times for the summer would be more convenient for you!

Skills Institute is a developmental soccer program for boys and girls ages 5-12 years. With a 8:1 player to coach ratio, players will receive plenty of one on one attention as they explore their potential in the target areas of soccer. Classes will be offered in groups by age and skill level (Level 1, Level 2 & Level 3). Throughout each 3-month session players will be evaluated, experience chalk talks, video analysis, and the occasional homework assignment to practice at home. Players will walk away more confident, equipped for their next right step, and ready for life’s challenges on and off the field. Skills Institute has a foundational approach to training the youth of today in a fun, safe, environment that meets kids at their entry point and develops them for the next level.


Level 1
Focus is on basic fundamentals of player development:  dribbling, passing, shooting, trapping and how to use them effectively in a game
Level 2
Focus is on continual development of individual technique, field awareness and speed and agility.  Will take players through a challenging session of driving competence and how to enhance the game.
Level 3 
Focus is on individual position-specific training, tactical insight, systems of play, as well as speed and agility.  Will take players through a mastery of soccer fundamentals, position responsibilities, tactical approaches and attacking and defending.
