The Mini-Kickers soccer program is geared towards 4.5-5 year olds (pre-K - K). Shaker Youth Soccer Association offers a soccer program where all games and activities are taught through the world of the child. The focus is to create a fun and energetic environment where each player is constantly engaged in activity. Inclusive, simplified small and large group games are aimed at developing a comfort level with the soccer ball. The Challenge Mini-Kickers program is offered both outdoor and indoors, year long. Fall and Spring sessions are each 7 weeks long. The program also continues indoor in the winter.
In the Fall and Spring outdoor seasons, during questionable weather, please do check the Field status section on the right of this webpage in the afternoon of the event for updates on whether the fields are open or closed for soccer activities.
The Mini-Kickers program is run in collaboration with the City of Shaker Heights. Click here for the online registration info for the Mini-kickers soccer program.
