When we surveyed the market of services offered for early developmental, recreational, and casual soccer players and young athletes in Virginia, we found the available clubs and classes were mostly geared towards competitive, older athletes, not these young ones hungry to play.

Parents from all over Virginia have told us that there is nothing available for their toddlers and tykes whom they desperately want taught athletic fundamentals.

These fundamentals are not only skills on the pitch - they’re the rules of life that govern all human relationships, like an unbreakable thread weaving our lives together, or pulling them apart.

Take the example of the cleated toddler who kicks the soccer ball at their friends and teammates in an effort to gather the coach’s attention. This player learns quickly in the Club that tantrums are neither paid nor punished - the player is sidelined to sit and think for themselves about what they did, and how their behavior affects others and themselves.
