Soccer Fun Camp
FAQs

Soccer Fun Camp serves children ages 1.5 to 12 years old, with programs thoughtfully designed for each developmental stage. Campers are grouped by age and ability to ensure every child feels comfortable, supported, and successful. Whether your child is brand new to soccer or has some experience, our programs are built to meet them where they are.

Parent involvement depends on your child’s age and the type of program:

• Tiny Mini (ages 1.5–3): Parents are encouraged to participate alongside their child.
• Pre-K (ages 3–4): Parents may assist if needed but are encouraged to gradually step back.
• Ages 5–12: Programs are primarily drop-off to promote independence and confidence.
• Classes: Parents are always welcome to observe.
• Camps: Most camps are drop-off unless otherwise noted.

We kindly ask parents not to coach from the sidelines, as this helps children focus, build autonomy, and enjoy the experience more fully. Parents are encouraged to participate alongside their child, but we will work to make them as autonomous as possible as time goes by.

Your child’s safety is our top priority. We maintain a positive, structured, and well-supervised environment at all times.

Our safety practices include:

• Certified and experienced coaches trained in youth development
• Age-appropriate activities and group sizes
• Clear behavior and supervision standards
• Regular equipment and field checks
• Emergency and first-aid procedures
• Weather and heat safety protocols

We also emphasize respect, kindness, and positive communication to create a safe emotional environment where every child feels welcome.

We recommend that campers bring:

• Comfortable athletic clothing
• Closed-toe athletic shoes or soccer cleats (depending on location)
• Shin guards (if required for specific programs)
• A labeled water bottle
• Sunscreen (applied before arrival for outdoor programs)

Please avoid bringing toys, electronics, or valuables. Our focus is on movement, play, and teamwork.
Specific program details will be shared prior to each session.

Yes. All Soccer Fun Camp coaches are trained, certified, and experienced in working with children. Many have semi-professional or advanced playing backgrounds and specialized youth coaching experience.

More importantly, our coaches are selected for their ability to connect with kids, encourage growth, and create joyful learning environments.

That’s perfectly okay — and very common!

Many of our campers are trying soccer for the first time. Our programs are designed to be welcoming, inclusive, and beginner-friendly. Coaches focus on basic skills, confidence, and enjoyment before anything else.
