Kinder Kickz

Santa Rosa

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
