Outdoor Mini Soccer – Little Lazers 

The season is scheduled to start May 8 (weather permitting) and coincides with the school calendar, ending the last week of June. We do not reschedule for rainy days. 

Parent involvement is encouraged. Dropping kids off and leaving is not permitted. Kids consider fun in a number of ways: playing with friends, trying new ideas, gaining more confidence/skill, and enjoying a positive experience. Many children learn best through games and repetition.
