“We are very excited to host another session of Lil’ Kickers this Fall! Lil’ Kickers does an amazing job developing curriculum that inspires children to be active, strong and confident. Classes use soccer as a tool to teach children about how they move and interact with peers all while bringing smiles to their faces,” said Dan Sardilli, Lil’ Kickers Coordinator and DIScover Youth Programs Director.

Lil’ Kickers classes are organized by age starting with Bunnies, Thumpers and Cottontails for children ages 1½ to 3½ with parent participation.
