SoccerRoos was founded in 2009 in Wilmington, NC. Our program focuses on the development of young children in the areas of enjoying physical activity, improving motor-skills and mental focus, building confidence and listening skills, and developing soccer techniques and skills. We provide a controlled environment where learning is fun and safe.
This is achieved by playing a series of age specific games conducted by qualified instructors. It’s a scientific fact that children participate with confidence and intensity if they're having fun.
SoccerRoos is different from other athletic programs because the curriculum focuses on learning soccer related skills in a non-competitive environment. Our athletic program allows each child to grow and advance at their own pace.
Having children physically active, early in life helps to build a strong foundation for future enjoyment of physical activity. While our athletic program is built around soccer, the skills that are developed (motor skills, coordination, balance, and listening skills) are valuable in all other sports. A key component for the younger children is learning to listen to someone other than their parents.
SoccerRoos has a set curriculum that is lead by certified and trained instructors. We incorporate various props such as balloons, parachutes, hula hoops and cones to keep the students engaged. Our classes have no more than 8-10 students per instructor to ensure that each child is receiving individual attention from the instructor.
Each 8 week program consists of one (45 minute - 1 hour) class per week for a cost of $89. There is a 10% discount for pre-registration, siblings and military families. In addition to our year round classes, SoccerRoos also offer birthday parties for children, private soccer training, and specialized group classes. SoccerRoos can customize our programs to meet your individual or group needs.
Our 10,000 square foot indoor sports facility is located in Dutch Square a few blocks from Eaton Elementary School. Our climate controlled building allows for classes to be offered year around. Therefore, the program is not affected by the heat and humidity of summer, the cold of winter or spring showers that frequent the greater city of Wilmington.
