About Little Kicks: MUSC’s Little Kicks program is a pre-school age introduction into the sport of soccer. This program is specifically designed for three and four-year-old children to learn the base fundamentals of soccer through fun activities and games. During the weekly one-hour session, each child will meet new friends, learn a new sport, and use lots of energy. The program is taught by professional trainers that specialize in the preschool age.

Equipment Needed: Each player must wear shin-guards and wear sneakers or cleats on the field. Please come prepared with plenty of water for proper hydration.

Where to purchase shinguards? Dick’s Sporting Goods, Modell’s and Target all sell proper soccer equipment.

For Parents: Please note we do ask that parents refrain from being on the field and allow the trainers to coach the players. We fully understand that there is going to separation problems in the beginning, so if you need to stay with your child, it is okay to do so but once they become comfortable that would be an excellent time to step back with the other parents. Please note, all children on the field must be properly potty-trained.
