About Little Kickers

Little Kickers is a preschool soccer academy located in the Oakridge Crossings neighbourhood on Whetherfield St. It serves children from 18 months old up to their eighth birthday, offering a variety of soccer-based programs designed to build confidence, coordination, and social skills through play. The academy provides four age-based soccer classes: Little Kicks for toddlers aged 18 months to 2½ years, Junior Kickers for those 2½ to 3½ years, Mighty Kickers for children aged 3½ to 5 years, and Mega Kickers for children aged 5 to 8 years. In addition to these classes, the business offers birthday parties and daycare programs. The curriculum follows a "Play not Push" philosophy, which focuses on a pressure-free environment where children learn through games and imagination. The programs aim to stimulate early development skills, such as following instructions, learning colors and numbers, and teamwork. Founded in 2002 by a mother who wanted an educational soccer experience for her preschooler, Little Kickers has grown into a global organization with over 300 franchises in 25 countries. It is currently part of Stronger Youth Brands, an international platform for youth-focused sports and enrichment programs. The academy describes itself as the world's biggest preschool soccer academy, employing a network of over 2,000 coaches. Classes are typically held indoors at venues such as school halls, leisure centres, and community spaces, with some locations providing outdoor sessions. Each booking includes a Little Kickers kit. While some coaches may offer free taster sessions depending on availability, customers can find specific local details and contact information by entering their postal code on the business's website.
