About Our Program
Kick IT Soccer Program, run by occupational therapists, will foster a positive, inclusive learning environment for children ages 7-10 years old so they can gain confidence and learn soccer skills while having fun.
Throughout each session, we will focus on the following: vision, foot-eye coordination, motor planning, attention, gross motor skills, and social skills.
Individual support will be provided to meet the needs of each participant. By incorporating therapeutic techniques into the sessions, children will build confidence, improve motor skills, and foster friendships, all while developing a love for the game of soccer.
