PRIME Kickstart  (Players 5 to 8 years old)
An introductory soccer program for our youngest players. The PRIME Kickstart program provides an introduction to the game of soccer, designed to instill a love of the game in a positive learning environment without participating in team competition.  The focus is on technical skills and fun games. Practice sessions are held twice a week for an hour. About half of the session is spent on skills, the other half on fun games and scrimmages.  Sessions are offered in the Fall and Spring Seasons.

No matter how far the game takes a player, it all starts with a love of the game and a desire to continue to learn and play. We want players to start early, and stay for the long term. Players in the Fundamentals Program will begin learning technical skills such as a good first touch, dribbling, passing, receiving, shooting, and defending with a combination of drills, fun activities, and games that are developmentally appropriate yet challenging for young players.
