Ages 3–5 — Grassroots
Build the spark. Build the habits.
This is where love for the game meets real coaching standards. Your child learns balance, coordination, first touch, and confidence—in a clean, upbeat environment that respects your time.
Start Early. Start Right.
Grassroots
Our Goal & Method
Ages 3-5 are the critical developmental window for coordination, balance, and confidence. While other kids are 'just playing,' your child is building the neural pathways and movement patterns that take years to develop later. Start now, or watch them spend ages 6-8 catching up to kids who did.
Why Now
The Early-Start Advantage
Brain development peaks at this age—movement skills learned now stick for life
Build confidence before self-consciousness sets in (ages 6-7)
Kids who start at 3-5 outperform kids who start at 6-7 by age 10—it's not talent, it's timing
First touch and coordination compound over time—every year you wait costs 2 years of catch-up
What They Get
What they get
Fun that actually teaches: ball mastery, movement, listening
Clear progress goals (simple, visible wins every week)
Coaches who set standards and celebrate effort—not babysitters in tracksuits
Small group sizes mean your child isn't waiting in line—they're learning
