Soccer Sprouts is in search of enthusiastic fun-loving individuals to share their talents with the children in our program. Soccer Sprouts is a soccer skill development program for players ages 3-10 yrs old. The lead coach will run our Sprouts through a series of games and activities that help promote a child’s physical and social growth as well as teach them the game of soccer. Our assistant coaches help the lead coaches run sessions, set up and break down equipment, and help reign in any Sprouts who need a little more “one on one” attention.
