Child Development
- Kids in group sports do better in school and have healthier relationships
- With the right coaching approach, sports can improve self-esteem and confidence
- Team sports help kids develop important interpersonal skills like cooperation and respect
- Kids need at least 60-minutes of activity each day to grow healthy
- Kids who exercise develop good habits and are more likely to exercise as adults
- 70% of kids drop out of organized sports by age 13 because “it’s not fun anymore.”
Skills Institute utilizes the same approach as our award-winning Lil’ Kickers program – age-appropriate curriculum taught by highly-trained coaches and designed to inspire kids to be active, strong, confident and well-adjusted in order to unleash their awesome both on and off the field.
Solid technical & tactical fundamentals
lead to future success on the field
Our fun and adaptive curriculum focus on development and mastery of fundamentals including

The 50-minute classes are led by highly-trained, professional coaches who tailor the program to individual abilities and level of play to help the player grow.
