K-2 Soccer Fun Club!: Come learn the basics of the most popular sport on Earth! Through drills, games and other fun based non competitive activities we’ll explore the great game of soccer (or Football as it’s known in most of the world). Takes place on Aurora’s Greenspace.

3-6 Soccer Skills Clinic: Beginners will be introduced to the basic skills and rules of game play. Those already familiar with world football will hone their skills and practice new ones through a variety of passing, shooting, dribbling, and defending drills. The development of team-oriented playing skills will be tested through small-scale scrimmages, but the primary focus of class will be each participant’s personal improvement, enjoyment, as well as health and safety.
