JOIN THE FUN!
Kids Academy
(AGES 4-8)
Welcome to our Kids Academy program – a captivating journey into the world of soccer, specially designed for children aged 4-8 years old. Our classes introduce children to physical activities with and without a ball, emphasizing having a fun-filled exposure to the sport while learning the game's basic skills. Our goal is to provide each child with a fun, positive, non-competitive, and safe environment where they can grow, develop new skills, socialize, and stay active while having fun.
At Kids Academy, we go beyond the ball to enhance your child's overall development. In addition to soccer skills, our experienced coaches incorporate exercises without a ball to focus on key aspects of their growth. Our sessions improve agility, speed, balance, and teamwork; as well as promote cooperation, problem-solving, and learning at their own pace.
Our age-appropriate curriculum guarantees the best experience for your child while prioritizing safety and individual attention.

We aim to cover all aspects of children’s development including physical, social-emotional, cognition, and communication. Our qualified coaches use a distinctive, fun, and high-energy approach to teaching all children the fundamentals of soccer! With a focus on cooperation and team-building, we aim to encourage each child to learn, socialize, and mature at their own pace.
At DC Way, we focus on teaching life skills one can learn from sports, such as emotional intelligence, responsibility, healthy habits, honesty, caring, and self-confidence. In addition to these essential motor and life skills, we put our main focus into initially developing soccer skills. Within these skills, we aim to improve players’ decision-making, vision, anticipation, and basic technical moves.
