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.
