Soccer Camps & Classes

Kids will sharpen soccer skills through drills and games, while building teamwork and confidence. Some programs prep kids for elite teams, and others are all-inclusive. Look for one that suits your child’s goals.

Elementary school is a great time for kids to sample different sports, but remember that competitive tryouts can begin as early as age 6. Want a head start? Try a parent-child preschool program.

In a rec league, expect to spend $50 to $150 for equipment and less than $100 in fees per season. Elite travel teams, however, often require an investment of hundreds or thousands of dollars per year.

Many soccer programs align with school semesters or seasons. For kids new to the sport, a one-day, one-week, or month-long class or clinic can be a good way to assess their level of interest.
