Captain Kicks is a fun, non-competitive, introduction to soccer for children ages 2-10. Captain Kicks does not have one playing location. Rather, we run classes on site, at preschools and elementary schools. Led by our awesome coaches, classes pack huge amounts of fun and fitness in a creative, age appropriate, and non-competitive setting. While our Captain Kicks headquarters is located in Mid-City, we work with many schools all over Los Angeles, the San Fernando valley, and the South Bay.
curriculum: Through age-appropriate and play based soccer curriculum, our objective is to make a positive impact on each child, by introducing them to soccer in a creative, fun, and non-competitive setting.
Students will learn new skills and valuable life lessons through positive reinforcement, instilling children with self-confidence.
Classes sessions are 8-10 weeks, offered once a week for 30 minutes, 45 minutes or an hour. Most classes take place anywhere between 9am-5pm, during the week. If you like working with kids, enjoy a part time and flexible schedule, and like having fun, Captain Kicks may be for you!
