What is the Tots Program?
Our Tots program is for players who are just beginning their soccer journey. Our dedicated staff will focus on unique games that incorporate, fun, movement, and interaction, all while the players become comfortable with the soccer ball. Our goal is to provide a safe, fun, and entertaining experience for our youngest players. Tots will prepare them for the next phase in our Pre-Travel Academy Program. 

Where, when, and how long is the program?
The Tots program is for kids ages 3-5 years old. We offer various different locations throughout D.C. on weekdays and weekends. You can find the schedule HERE. You will be able to select which location and time within the Tots registration. Each session meets once a week for 45 minutes over the course of 8 weeks.

My child does not like being a part of big groups, nor plays well with other kids, can we still sign up?
Yes. This is perfectly normal for kids this age. This program is age and developmentally-appropriate for children in this age group.

I am not ready to put my child in competitive sports at this age, what is the structure?
Our focus is for players to have fun, and engage with other kids while also playing games that incorporate soccer without them even realizing it. We have players participate season after season before moving to our Recreation Program.

My child will turn 4 during or right after the session dates. Should I put him/her in Tots I or Tots II?
Tots I is for 3-4-year-olds and Tots II is for 4-5-year-olds. If your child is turning 4 during or right after the session dates, you can choose either program based on your child's development.

What do we need to bring? 
A soccer ball (size 3), water, and comfortable footwear.
