Kinder Kickz

Kinder Kickz is soccer for the very young - starting at 18 months. It’s not competitive, there’s no pressure, and for the youngest kids, parents participate alongside. This is about introducing the concept of soccer in a playful way.

How It Works

• Instructor-led sessions at local parks
• Age-appropriate activities (not real games for the little ones)
• Parents participate with youngest kids
• Gradually builds toward independent play

Age Groups

• Toddlers (18 months - 2.5 years): Parent-child together
• Preschoolers (2.5 - 5 years): Transitioning to independence
• Older kids (5-8 years): More structured activities

Park Locations

Sessions rotate through parks in:

• Petaluma
• Rohnert Park
• Santa Rosa
• Sebastopol
• Windsor

Why Parents Choose This

• Convenient locations: Programs come to parks near you
• Non-competitive: Just fun, no winners/losers

Good For

• Parents wanting to introduce sports early
