Program Description
Registration Cost: $247
7-12 y/o 5v5 Program, designed to provide a dynamic soccer experience that combines J4kicks training with team match experience.
This program emphasizes player development across five key pillars: biomechanics, technical skills, cognitive abilities, soccer IQ, and emotional intelligence.
Participants will enjoy a supportive environment that nurtures their growth and passion for the game, making it the perfect next step for kids interested in soccer or those with prior experience.
With a focus on learning rather than competition, this program aims to instill a love for the game while developing essential skills. Spots are limited, so be sure to register early!

Who is this program for?
This program is the next step from our Just4kicks classes, adding a game-day experience. It's open to kids interested in soccer or those with prior experience. If a child shows abilities that are better suited for an older or younger group or program, we will discuss this with the parents individually.
Do you need Volunteer Coaches?
Volunteer parents are necessary to make the program run smoothly. Volunteers will receive full guidance from Coach Al. Volunteers assist during training days and/or manage substitutions during matches. Volunteers will not be organizing or running practices on their own. A volunteer form will be offered after registering.
What gear will my child need?
Registration cost includes a game day top that will be worn on Game Day Saturdays. Shinguards and long socks over the shinguards will be required. Soccer cleats are recommended.
Baseball/softball/football cleats will not be allowed to be worn.
Can we request a friend?
You may request that your child be placed on the same team as a friend (A request form will be provided after registering)
What is the Program Focus?
While there will be a team crowned 1st place, the primary goal is player development, not match results. Healthy competition and growth in all five pillars are our priority: • Biomechanics: Movement and body control • Technical: Ball handling and skills • Cognitive: Kinetic response and decision-making • Soccer IQ: Understanding the laws of the game • Soccer EQ: Emotional intelligence—how the child feels about themselves and others in moments of success and challenge
Why 5v5?
Internationally, 5v5 is a common play format because it keeps all players engaged and ensures more interactions with the ball. Smaller fields mean more ball control and fewer moments spent running in open space or standing still.
Just4kicks allows kids to experience soccer the way I did back home in my country but better because there is a coach there to manage and facilitate instruction. The philosophy is right on the mark!

Just4kicks allows kids to open up on the soccer field, and it is incredible to me how well kids adapt and learn in this type of environment. Everything is positive, and the coaches are great. Thank you!

Coach Al's methodology in initiating kids is phenomenal. I think soccer has a bright future if we continue with this type of soccer learning. He has changed my mind about youth soccer. Keep it up!
