A corresponding craft will be included each week as well.
TIA SOCCER (all ages)
Everyone scores BIG the TIA way. Our 'goal' during this instructional drop-off class is to implement our playful and democratic teaching style to engage all of the students in the class. The coaches will describe and model the age-appropriate drills/games which focus on the fundamentals of soccer: game play, passing, shooting, throwing, dribbling, teamwork, and defense.
The new skill practiced every two weeks is designed to build individual abilities and self-confidence as well as boosting their physical conditioning and strength. Skills are consistently reinforced and sportsmanship is always emphasized during their bi-weekly scrimmage. The athletes will learn soccer fundamentals and rules of the game, increase their overall fitness level, as well as enhance their social and emotional competence in this high energy and fun environment with our highly trained TIA coaches.

These sports and activities are designed to help your child learn the basic fundamentals such as throwing, catching, kicking, body awareness, and fair play while developing gross and fine motor skills both individually and in team scenarios.
