GREAT BEGINNINGS PROGRAM FOR soccer AGES 4-7
Great Beginnings is a five-week instructional program targeted to four, five, six and seven year-olds. The goal of this program is to help prepare young children for the challenges of organized sports in a non-threatening atmosphere, without the worry of competition.
Each child along with his or her parents work together to learn basic motor skills needed to successfully move on to more organized sports in years to come. This program will be held in August on five Sundays starting August 15 from 4-5pm. Click here for a registration form. To register, call Ed Green at 540-387-9516.
