10:30 AM - 11:00 AM	Soccer Shots - Fridays - Soccer Shots - Classic (Fridays) Session 2 Age 2Soccer Shots Mini is a high-energy program introducing children to fundamental soccer principles, such as using your feet, dribbling and the basic rules of the game. Through fun games, songs and positive reinforcement, children will begin to experience the joy of playing soccer and being active. Ages 3-5Soccer Shots Classic utilizes creative and imaginative games to focus on basic soccer skills like dribbling, passing and shooting.  We also highlight a positive character trait each session such as respect, teamwork and appreciation.  NOTE:  Whenever possible, we have both a 3yo and 4/5yo Classic class.  The curriculum is the same with the exception of the scrimmage.  Our experience is that 3yo’s are still learning to share thus we ease into a 1 ball scrimmage.  The 4/5’s start Week 1 with a scrimmage using 1 ball.$35 annual enrollment fee is due to Soccer Shots prior to the start of the program. An email will be sent to you from their organization within 7 days.This program is run by Soccer Shots Staff through Andover Recreation.
