Peanuts Pre-K

Pre-K soccer experience running 6 weeks & co-ed!

KinderKickers

KinderKickers is our most basic soccer program targeted to kids in Kindergarten. The program is designed to build on skills taught in our Peanuts program and to further develop children’s love for the game of soccer. This is not a drop-off program and parents are required to stay throughout the session.

Instructional sessions are 60-minutes in duration. The first half is lead by the Cranford High School Girls Soccer Team which guides children through basic soccer drills. During the second half, children participate in 4v4 games.

Games are lead by volunteer parent coaches who manage player substitutions and provide basic direction. Groups are divided by gender. All games take place on Saturday mornings. Game scores and standings are not recorded.

Hot Shots

Hot Shots is a recreational soccer program intended to further develop basic soccer skills and learn the fundamental rules of game play. The program builds on the lessons taught in our Peanuts and Instructional programs and introduces children to structured game play.

Players participate in 4v4 games which are 60-minutes in duration and played on larger fields with designated goalies.  Players learn to do throw-ins, goal kicks and basic goal-keeping, all guided by our volunteer parent coaches.

Players also participate in a one-hour, week-night training session, which is not team-based and lead by professional trainers from United Soccer Academy.  Training sessions have typically taken place on Wednesday afternoon for girls and Thursday afternoons for boys.
