Off the Wall Sports Carmel – Programs

Youth Soccer Lessons

The most well-known program at Off the Wall Carmel is Lil’ Kickers. Youth soccer programs that focus on teaching soccer basics in a fun and developmentally appropriate way. This nationally acclaimed program was created in partnership with child development specialists to foster a fun and active environment for kids to develop social skills, practice teamwork, and learn the basics of soccer. The program is broken into age groups designed to meet children at their appropriate developmental milestones from 18 months to 10 years old.

Lil’ Kickers Program Breakdown

Bunnies 18 to 24 months (Parent and Child)
Thumpers 2-3 Years Old (Parent and Child)
Cotton Tails 2.5-3.5 Years Old (Parent and Child)
Hoppers 3-4 Years Old (Beginner)
Jackrabbits 3-4 Years Old (Intermediate)
Big Feet 5-6 Years Old (Beginner)
Micro Classes 4-9 Years Old (Intermediate)
Skills Institute 5-10 Years Old

The Lil’ Kickers program is amazing because it helps kids develop life skills such as teamwork, confidence, resilience, and sportsmanship alongside soccer skills in a play-based atmosphere. Each session is filled with imaginative games that encourage the players to run, kick, score, and try their best all while they are learning how to be a part of a team, take turns, win, and lose.

The Lil’ Kickers games are so fun. Some of the games have the kids imagining they are in an ocean full of sharks, kicking balls into an overflowing volcano, or using the soccer goal as a spaceship.

The coaches begin each session with circle time and often ask the kids to join them on colorful spots on the field to learn about the next activity. The sessions are structured in a way that feels like a play-based school. Kids are practicing taking turns, listening to grownups and each other, taking direction and feedback, and trying new things in a safe and fun environment.

Beginning in the Micro Classes, half of the 50-minute class time is devoted to learning the basics of scrimmaging. The coaches teach the kids soccer basics but also focus on passing, safety (keeping hands to yourself), and working as a team.

The Skills Institute is designed for future ballers who want to hone their skills to be the next Mia Hamm or David Beckham. This program is designed to help older kids master techniques, prep for tryouts, and increase ball touches during games. Learn more about Skills Institute here.
